Never did I expect to end up here
Through the trials of each new year
I Tried my hand at calling you a friend
But the reminders never seem to end
They show me what we once had
A recollection driving me so mad

I know it may not be my place
To gently lay lips upon your face
But it is a thought I can not escape
It brings out old wounds that beguine to gape

I can not let you go
I want so desperately to let you know
Everything that you mean to me
If only through these eyes you could see

For a lifetime I'll be by your side
There is no other place for me to reside
I have come to this conclusion so long ago
Together so much stronger we could grow
This love that I proclaim for you
This love old begging for chapters new

I can not help but to follow my heart
It can't help but to fall all apart
As I long for my loves embrace
I did not intend to become a disgrace
I can not help who I am
I can not help but to dam

Never did I expect to end up here
Through the trials of each new year
I Tried my hand at calling you a friend
But the reminders never seem to end
They show me what we once had
A recollection driving me so mad

Even so long after the fall
I can't help but wanting it all
I can't help but come to realize
You are where my everything lies
Can't live as long as we face separation
A patriot man who has lost his nation
I can't help but come to realize
You are where my everything lies
