No matter how I try,
No matter what I do,
I'll never have the strength to say
That I love only you.
I see you standing quietly,
I know it's not my place,
But I want to be the one who puts
A smile on your face.
I must not seem to interested,
When you talk I look away.
You left; didn't even say goodbye,
And I wish I'd made you stay.
You're walking to the horizon,
Walking out of my life,
Couldn't you see that this one act
Causes me so much strife?
I wish I'd had the courage,
I wish I'd had no fears,
I wish that you would come back
And wipe away love's tears.
