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.... © Ashley Rodden.

Not yours to keep
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.... © Ashley Rodden.
