I wanted to love you
Believed we could try
So I gave you the best part of me
But I can't change your mind
Got lost in your silence
And the years gone by
Now I know you don't understand
How you hurt me this time
Cause you keep me close enough
To not let me go
You made me choose for you
Like you had nothing to lose at all
And I don't know how to tell you
That I'm saying goodbye
When you do not recognize
You are the tears in my eyes
Cause I wanted to love you
I thought a clean break could free me
So I walked out your door
And when I feel you from a state away
I do my best to ignore
Then I hear your voice
In melodies we shared before
Suddenly I can hardly breathe
And I've never missed you more
But you keep me close enough
To not let me go
You made me choose for you
Like you had nothing to lose at all
And I don't know how to tell you
That I'm saying goodbye
When you do not recognize
You are the tears in my eyes
Cause I wanted to love you
Cause I wanted to love you
I needed to love you
So hopelessly I loved you
So desperately in love
But you kept me close enough
To not let me go
Baby you made me choose for you
Like I was nothing to lose at all
And I don't know how to tell you
That I'm saying goodbye
When you do not recognize
You are the tears in my eyes
Cause I wanted to love you
