I Know That You Still Love Her

I know that you still love her.

It's right there on your face.

Every time that you look at me.

I know you're hoping I'll replace,

The vivid memories you have of her,

That haunt you everyday,

The longing ache within your chest,

And help you find a way.

 

A way to leave the pain behind,

By telling me sweet lies.

I know that you still love her.

I can see it in your eyes.

Can't you see that I love you?

And if you could, would you even care?

She is perfect in your minds' eye,

And to perfect, who can compare?

 

I see you gaze off into space,

And catch you misty-eyed.

You listen to sad love songs,

While I listen to my pride.

And though my heart is begging,

And my tears are falling so,

It hurts much worse to stay here,

So, my darling, I must go.
