THAT HURTS ME

 

Things that leave me blue,

Like an old love I once knew!

 

We did fit like a glove,

Like rosebuds on the ground

 

But I was not sure it was love

Because it once let me down

 

Like a heart filled with pride

Causes two hearts to collide,

 

You see love is a test

With all the games we play,

 

Then the heart finds little rest

When troubles fill the day!

 

I wish I could go back

Maybe I’d not be so slack

 

Then I’ll wait until

The urge has gone away

 

But this void I can’t fill

And loneliness will stay

 

My heart always knew

That love was about you!

 

But it’s only me to blame

For my eyes couldn’t see

 

That your heart was in pain

And that truly hurts me!
