All My Heart [Triple Triolet]

The time we spend together, you always try to hurt me.
I cannot believe that it makes me want to die.
If you knew - would you be filled with malicious glee?
The time we spend together, you always try to hurt me.
I have always been so strong, everyone would agree.
People think I am heartless - do I still remember how to cry?
The time we spend together, you always try to hurt me.
I cannot believe that it makes me want to die.

My heart breaks a little more each passing day.
It burns inside when you are thinking of her instead of me.
These are the emotions I cannot let myself display.
My heart breaks a little more each passing day.
She is the only one you care about, so why can't I stay away?
You use me and cast me away like a piece of debris.
My heart breaks a little more each passing day.
It burns inside when you are thinking of her instead of me.

You don't know that I love you with all my heart.
I wish I could tell you that I am able to feel.
How do you not know, you're supposed to be smart.
You don't know that I love you with all my heart.
Everyday I hide the fact that I am falling apart.
The thought of telling you makes my head reel.
You don't know that I love you with all my heart.
I wish I could tell you that I am able to feel.
