I would have taken a bullet for you.
Its no exaggeration for the words I speak are true.
And don't you know that of all those that would, there are very few?
Now that you are gone its apparent you have not a clue
For I would have without a doubt taken a bullet for you

Do you really have no clue
As to all I would have done for you?
I would have sacrificed my own life through and through
I would have swam across the ocean,
Yes, swam across the ocean blue
Just to meet your wants and needs
And to take the up most care of you
I most certainly would have taken a bullet for you

Now that you're so long, long gone and were longer tethered
I ponder all the sacrifices I made when we were both together
Even after all this time I still know that I would love and cherish you forever and forever.
But you say you no longer love me. Its clear your heart has dried up and toughened just like leather

Finally here now at the end I still hope that you'll break through
Because vast are the expanses I would go, Oh dear if you only knew
I am the only one on earth that would have done these things it true
If anything at all, my dear, then let my words imbue
For I'm the only one on earth that would have taken a bullet for you.
When you love somebody with all heart you consider all that you would've done for them. My ex wife apparently just "stopped loving me." And this is kind of what I'm left with.
