The Reason We Fall

"I'll love you forever" you said
We both thought that wasn't long enough
We said we'd always be together
But now I see this might be tough
You see I love you so much
And that will always be
But lately you seem different
You hardly notice me

With every day that passes by
I feel like I'm fading into your past
Becoming nothing to you,
But a simple memory of a love that didn't last
I was your shoulder on which to lean
I was understanding and strong
But you weren't there for me
And everything I do seems to be wrong

I remember how I used to feel
When I was comfortable just being me
You accepted me for who I am
But still you cannot see
You can't feel how I feel
You can't see through my eyes
I want to trust you again
But I can't forget the lies

The emotions rush at me
Hitting me hard
The notes, the flowers
The birthday card
They all say that you love me
And really do care
But when I needed you most
You were never there

While I sit here alone
My eyes begin to fill
All I can think of is you
As my last tears spill
My last tears for you
It's time to let go
And forget all the memories
That seem so long ago

It's hard to do
But I know I must
Everything is gone
All the love and trust
My heart aches
I fall apart
Because there isn't a band-aid big enough
To fix my broken heart

I know with time
I'll be okay
But it's so hard
To see you everyday
Knowing it's over
And we're all through
Just getting through each day
Is all I can do

I have loved and lost
And now I know
That it's time for me
To just let you go
I see things clearly now
And understand it all
Cause love is blind,
And that's why we fall
