Losing You

by chris - Aries

I met a girl
fell in love with her at first sight
it took so long for her to come around
but now I lost her.

She once believed in all those things
that I used to say
she once thought
that I would never hurt her in any way.

But now I have to go on alone
I'm nothing without you
everything I used to love
all those things I used to do
I can't be happy anymore
knowing what I did to you.

Here I go
walking in my perfect world
your love touched me like the strongest wind
but all I got left is memories
living in what is now my fantasy world.


All I believed in
all my pride
everything I told you
has now become a lie.

I got drunk
I got upset
I got insecure
and eventhough I told the other person no
more than just one time
I couldn't stop myself
I thought I was different
I thought I'd never do this 
now I'm just like every other guy.

I cheated on you 
I slept with someone else
I remember how we used to talk about how our virginity was so sacred
how I hoped to save it for someone special
we both thought that it would be you.

I couldn't deal with the guilt
couldn't bear the pain
you deserve better than this
and as much as I didn't want to hurt you
I had to tell you.

I knew if I did I would lose you
but I couldn't let you be with me
I cared to much to let this go on
because your to special
and I don't deserve you
I fucked up
now I have to live with this everyday.

I've lost all my self-respect
I don't deserve to live
I'm not the guy you thought I was
not the one you fell in love with.

She's yet to come back
but I still have your picture
I keep it close to my heart
a reminder of everything I lost
and more importantly
something I fucked up.

How quick insecurity 
can drive away someone who means the world to you
but look at me now
pacing on my balcony
17 stories up
wondering if I should jump
because I can't live with myself 
now that I've lost you
and hurt you
I'm nothing but a disgrace.

When I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by millions of people
I feel hate me
because they can see right through me
they know what I did
oh, how fast my sun went away.

I hope you got my message
eventhough it won't change a thing
I just don't want you to think
that I don't give a damn.

Now you hate me
and I don't blame you at all
I don't ask for sympathy
because I deserve what I got
and I have to live the rest of me life
knowing that I broke your heart
looking at myself in the mirror
I realize that I'm not special
I'm a phony
I'll never hear your sweet voice again
I'll never receive another one of you calls.

Reason for writing:

    It's about how I went against everthing I personally believe in as a person
when I got drunk and upset one night.  I slept with someone else who I knew for years
I went against everything I told my girlfriend and everything I felt in my heart.  The ultimate pain isn't
 that I lost her, or that I threw my virginity away to someone who wasn't special,
and I wasnt in love with, those things are painful enough.
I have to go on knowing that I hurt someone so special, and at
times I'm so ashamed about what I did, I feel like I don't deserve to live.
So to all you girls out there, every guy is an ASSHOLE, I just never thought
I would be too.
