You speak of love as if you've never known a true lover,
But you were my best friend
How could I have known any better?

I know you got a lot of pain that was born inside you,
But instead of growing stronger
You let it divide you

How could you be so careless with my heart?
Piece by piece my world was torn apart,
And now my hope has nothing to revolve itself around

Didn't you know I was always yours to touch and to keep...?
I loved you from the moment of our first kiss
So the rest should of been history

You were always trying to save me
Never knowing you were the only thing that could
in the end really hurt me

Now you see me whenever you close your eyes
And maybe one day you'll understand why,
Love comes slow but goes so fast

When you're staring at the ceiling in the dark
With the same old empty feelings in your heart,
Maybe you will understand why everything you touch seems to die

Dreams will come slow but go so fast
And you will realize that true love is the only thing that lasts,
You will see me in your sleep, never again to hold or to keep

Because you let your hope in me go....
