If things were different

Once again put my heart on the line
Crushed by the passing sands of time
Why is love never my friend
What have I done to deserve all this pain

There are things I just cant change
But I will always put you
Before my own pain
Therefore, pretending again, that nothings there

If things were different
Would those words roll off you tongue
What I have forever longed to hear
"I always want you near"

Once I said that you completed me
Through all the tears and pain
Those words still resonant in my heart
Forever to haunt until I am at peace
