Let Me Be The One

by Gloria Velardi   Feb 5, 2006


You let me be the one to stay with you
and prove my love was true.
Let me be the one to believe
that in life some things are meant to be.

You let me be the one to share your dreams
of what future could bring.
There was so much joy in our hearts
that you even let me be sure it was meant to last.

You let me be the one to see
that deep down inside of you, there were so many insecurities.
You let me kiss away your fears,
infusing good cheer.

I needed you on each and every day,
you let me be the one to think you needed me the same way.
I had never thought I could be damaged by that need,
until it made us start to slip.

I started to miss you more and more,
and that lack became a sore.
I let you be the one to find a cure, to give me back what I was missing,
but it turned into an incurable disease as you didn't notice a part of me was fading.

Now I don't wanna be the one to hold your hand
and say our story will never end,
that the pain will subside
and we'll be doing just fine.

Sure, you let me be the one to look into your eyes
and find a heart of ice.
I've probably been the one who tried to melt it,
giving it love beat after beat.

Maybe I had thought I could succeed,
it was your love I wanted to win.
Then your heart became of stone, your love had lasted for a while,
I realized I couldn't manage, no matter how hard I had tried.

You said you were confused, but still wanted me by your side,
then you continued holding me off and it was a far cry.
I gave you time to make up your mind,
but as the distance between us grew stronger, your love became weaker.

Right now, you don't have to pretend, don't have to lie,
cause I already know your love has died.
I can no longer stand to see both of us cry..
So, please.. let me be the one to say goodbye.
