You walked out of my life
away from my love
having cheated, betrayed and lied
Alone I sat where last night we'd loved
ripped apart and broken inside

I smelt the pillow
with deepest breath
it was you my beautiful you
I knew that your scent would fade away
there was nothing I could do

How could a few hours
change everything?
I still tasted your lips upon mine
Last night you had held me and loved me
and everything had been just fine

A revelation - just one revelation
ripped apart all we'd built
all we'd shared
but nothing could ever be the same
after all had been declared

Ignorance is bliss they say
Should I have spared you
all this pain?
It's not just you that's hurting now
and I am the one to blame.
