I grew up believing love would ever fail
Love would always prevail
Now I hear the toll of love's requiem bell
And I understand its just a story they sell
A love true and deep
A heart I thought was mine to keep
Now I've grown too numb to weep
A treasure proved to be weak and cheap
What's left when love dies?
After all the hurt and lies
I can't even fathom our goodbyes
Yet we grow distant and sever ties
I loved you from the day we met
I didn't even know you yet
Beauty in body mind soul and heart
Life's greatest miracle was when we got our start
It was my missteps that began to break us apart
Now I dread the day you will depart
What's left when love dies?
After all the hurt and lies
I can't even fathom our goodbyes
Yet we grow distant and sever ties
I can't imagine life without you
Can't imagine what will I do
Dont know that I can make it through
I still love you I you and can't deny what's true
We're both stubborn and too self centered
We didn't react when resentment entered
We fought to win and defend
Stood our ground until the bitter end
The toughest lesson I've ever been taught
Love is not any of what I thought
Living with wounds which will never heal
No longer certain our love was even real
The damage is severe and destroying me
Trying hard to understand and see
Loosen my grip and let you be free
Even though this is killing me
What's left when love dies?
After all the hurt and lies
I can't even fathom our goodbyes
Yet we grow distant and sever ties
You've been my angel and a wonderful wife
I know i didn't give you the best life
I struggled I've failed and didn't always try
I remember every time I made you cry
I can't comprehend or understand
How I had it all in my hand
But my weakness and self loathing sealed my fate
And gave you this person you now hate
Would I do it over given the chance
Do it better make it a better dance
Or would I avoid being hurt and hurting you
By not allowing the magic and love that I once grew
I will love you thats a fact
Regretting every second the way I did act
I will be bitter and suffer great pain
And will never feel or love again
What's left when love dies?
After all the hurt and lies
Look into my heart look into my eyes
Hear my sorrow and my endless cries
Knowing you don't want me to be your guy
Leaves me empty, broken and ready to die
I dont want to set you free
But I'm not the man you hoped I'd be
Now I hear and clearly see
You no longer care and don't want me
This is not what love should be
