I Left You

Everything I ever wanted, you held tight in your hands, And you pressed your heart into mine and said, "Don't let go." I tried; I promised you that I'd never hurt you, But now you're standing in the rain, mourning my retreat. My dear, I never meant to betray your heart so coldy, But you and I just weren't what my soul craved. I tried to return to you but my weariness won, And so I left you all alone, with no one but yourself.
