You told me that you loved me
Although not in those words
Like the scared little girl that I was
I just pretended I never heard
I know you know how much I loved you
I know you saw it my eyes
saw it in my every move
It never took you by surprise
I never could've hiden it
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
I never really thought you cared enough
Boy was I naive
Oh I know you tried to tell me
We had it all, almost
Afraid of what I'd find
If I got too close
The attraction that we shared
was pure and so intense
and the yearning in my soul
was so vast and so immense
Only living just to touch you
Just to hear your voice
But you never laid a hand on me
You never had the choice
I never really meant to walk away
A choice I made one last chance ago
I never meant to forsake you
I never meant to let you go
At the time I thought myself too strong
to let you through my wall
Thought my heart was a fortress
You couldn't penetrate at all
Hindsight stripped me of my blindness
Absolution didn't come soon enough
I lost the greatest love of all
All because..........
I'm not so tough.
