The smell of your perfume still lingers on my chest
Taunting and tormenting my every deep breath
Bittersweet, it saturates my marrow
The love lost in the endless waves of pain and sorrow,

Everything I thought true love should and could have been,
Has been swept away, in what seems like a 100 mile an hour wind
Into the relentless currents, and depths of blue sea
Would nothing have stopped it dear? Not even one knee?


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is pleading"


Staring out into the vast emptiness laid out before me
Searching for a reflection, or glimpse of what use to be
Your picture with him, crushing my soul, my fee
Woman, If only the pain in my heart you could see

I promise you, I’m the first one to tell you “I Love You”
You’re the only one whom I grew wings, jumped, and flew
Though I know I’m not fortunate enough to be your last
I know with him you don’t have our memories or past.


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is bleeding"


More than just a dream, or the fanciest of feeling
It was my true self, your love was revealing
A man I either forgot or never knew existed
A man you would have known, if only you would’ve persisted

But just when I needed you the most
You faded away, your touch… a ghost
Leaving me standing here, cold, alone
Wondering,
Can you still smell the bitter-sweetness of my cologne?


"To suppress this pain i'm feeling
I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing
It's just a part of one’s self being,
They say true love is never fleeing
But baby, for you, my heart is healing"
