Without You

Do you know how sad I've been without you?
You may doubt my feelings but I swear they're all true.
There are no longer blue skies, now only grey,
and I can't feel the warmth from the suns golden rays.
I can't hear the birds sing there sweet melodies,
No longer will I watch waves crashing in from the sea.

Hunger doesn't bother me and neither does thirst,
I thought splitting up would make things better, not worse.
But I shall never tell you, as it was my bright idea,
and you'd always made your feeling for me crystal clear.
I hurt you the day I said it was over and done with,
As I knew together, forever was how you thought we would live.

I've changed it all now, we'll be together no more,
no longer lying naked, sweating, moaning on the floor.
And you may think I won't miss you, but you'd be wrong,
but for both of our sakes, I'll hang tough and stay strong.
'Cause I've hurt you so bad and I won't do it again,
I'll protect you forever from that kind of pain.

And the only way to do it, is stay away from you,
Know that I love you and pray you'll find someone new.
I cheated you once, and swore never again,
but the destruction of us has me solely to blame.
It nearly killed me when I saw the tears in your eyes,
For that moment I was the conman who just couldn't lie.

You didn't deserve lies, you needed only the truth,
and I told you I made love in a telephone booth,
Tried to make it better, said, 'It wasn't our bed',
But you were too stunned by the lies you'd been fed.
I had done it again when I said that I wouldn't,
let someone else love me when I knew that I shouldn't.

I know that I'll pay the ultimate price,
you forgave me once, but couldn't do it twice.
I expect to pay all the coming costs,
I'm the ultimate loser as it's your love I've lost.

My Pain

Just two small words, then it was done,
you wrecked my world and killed my sun.
I look to you, had I misheard?
Could you repeat those two small words?
I ask you please, say it again,
And I will really listen when,
You say again those words to me,
repeat them and explain to me.

What's happened now, what have you done?
I thought you loved me, thought we had fun.
My senses are so numbed with pain,
And you're the cause of it again.
I look in your eyes, you look away,
you swore again you'd never stray.
Twice is too much for me to forgive,
Some how without you, I now must live.

You say you had sex with some other guy,
was it just one, or just more of your lies?
If there was still trust, we could try again,
but my trust in you is starting to wane.
I know you can't be the man for me,
'Cause us living in bliss is how it would be.
I can't help but think of the days that we spent,
just us being together, the places we went.

But you ruined it now, it's all finished with,
my heart to you I can no longer give.
I gave it to you, along with my soul,
I hope it'll one day help to make you whole.
You don't seem to know, but you're such a great guy,
You just can't help covering up with your lies.

I should be mad with you, so livid,
as your betrayal in my head is still so vivid.
I still can't let it be you that I'm hating,
If you come to your senses, know I'll be waiting.
