To Be Your Lover

I know it's been a long time since you've heard from me.
I know you have a new life now, I know you're happy,
I know I can't deny that I still care for you
thoughts of you fill my days whether or not I want them to.

When I loved you, every moment shared was like a tropical sunrise
there was no price that could buy the feeling of looking into your eyes
but in what seemed like an instant, you discarded it all
through gods grace I survived that long and turbulent fall

I have a new life too,
I just feel theirs a few things that we should address
Its my fault for putting you on a pedestal so high,
by doing so we could never see eye to eye

You swept me off my feet, but let me land on my face.
With no contrition on your part just silence and space.
Do you ever feel bad for your treatment of me? Is there ever remorse?
or are your actions then and now simply par for the course?

I just wanted to give you my heart, was that really so bad?
I'm sorry it wasn't good enough, it was the only one I have.
Am I asking to many questions? Should I just move on like you?
I'm not as heartless as that, so just please hear me through

I just wanted to know why you never fought for what we had.
Why you let it, no, helped it fade; ever so fast.
Does all the money you have now comfort you at all?
Can it bring you a love that is unmeasurably tall?

Like the love you threw away that I was once had for you.
I have to be honest though, I'm not glad that were through'
This is not a plea for you to come back into my life.
Long gone are those dreams of us being husband and wife.

Long gone is the chance for you to ever find someone
that will love you like I did. That day will never come.
It true what they say about one mans trash being another treasure
