Sometimes I stop and wonder
what I saw in you
Was it in your gentle smile
or simplicity in the things you do
You always were so calm and kind
so rare it, seems today
You didn't mind being different
or the opinions of what others had to say
I found myself attracted to you
the moment that we met
The way you made me smile
I never will forget
My friends thought I was crazy
but it was love at frist sight
and my heart lead me to believe
you were Mr. Right
All of my illusions
I made up in my mind
Were so far from truth
but I couldn't see it at the time
It wasn't easy being so close
yet, so very far away
Not knowing how you felt
kept me in bondage every day
I kept you in my prayers, constantly,
In hopes that you would see
Just how much I cared for you
and maybe one day, you could care for me
One day my prayers were answered
you said, you would like to try
You thought we be good together
I should have known it was a lie
I guess I was just another toy,
a game you liked to play
I wish I had known sooner
you never planned to stay
All the empty promises
you lead me to believe
How could I be so foolish
and so easily decieved
I wish I would have known
you needed to be free
But you're the one who stole my heart
and now you hold the key
My dreams became a nightmare
the way it had to end
You left without discussing it
I found out from a friend
How could you live with yourself
knowing what you did
You didn't act like a man
you acted like a kid
Running from the truth
was the easy thing to do
I wish you had the courage to be honest
to gently tell me... we were though
I guess I've come to realize
that love is a fairy tale
No matter how I've tried
I always seem to fail
Why do some win at love
and others always lose
Is it just that I'm unlucky
of the man I seem to choose
I think this time
I'll stay by myself
and take my broken heart
and put it on a shelf
Now no one can break it
or try to steal the key
Of the broken pieces
of a heart... that once was free...
