Though I still love you
Why do you hurt me?
Why do you hurt yourself so?
There's so much more to you
But you hide it away
"Priorities" means more than one
When you were lonely, I was there
But what does that mean to you?
It hurts me more than you'll ever know
More than I'll let it show
How could you lie?
My trust, my faith, thrown into you
You're my best friend
But you still try to toss it away
And it kills me every time
I stood up for you when nobody would
You tell me who was there
But I just can't bring myself to hate you
I hate what he's made you
I hate what you're putting yourself through
It's not fun for anyone
And it's ripping me...
Ripping us
Apart
Please come back to me
You used to smile
You don't sing anymore like you used to
I miss it
I miss you
But you keep on leaving me for
Temptation
Don't you care anymore?
I'm not letting you go
Just because you're blind right now
It doesn't make my determination weaker
It just shows me that you are
Be strong
If not for me, at least for yourself, please
Just listen to your heart
Because the more you don't
The more you kill mine
