I Wish I Could Forget You (I Know I Never Will)

We never had a chance in this,
it seems our love is gone.
Who knew that we would never last;
we've been doomed all along.

I once had cherished our love,
And now I miss it so...
I didn't think we'd end this way,
just wish you didn't go.

In time I know I'll feel the pain
of being all alone;
and in the chair I know I'll sit
-- I'll wait for you to phone.

I know that it will never ring
-- aware it is no use.
I know that even knowing that,
I still will wait for you.

I know I cannot bring you back;
I never will succeed.
There is no word in all the world
that would make you love me.

And I'll look in the mirror
knowing that I am to blame.
I never will forgive myself;
life will not be the same.

Your face is still etched in my head;
I'm scared to let it go
-- Cause if I let you slip away
I will be on my own.

(I don't know how to live
without your tenderness and care.
And even if I wish for you,
I know you won't appear.)

It seems like it's a nightmare,
even though it's clearly real;
and even though our love is dead
I cannot stop the way I feel.

I wish that you could hear me
-- hear me crying late at night;
I wish that you would read this,
wish you'd see the things I write.

I know I'm just a memory,
a pigment in your head.
To you we are not anything
-- all passion has been dead.

No matter how I wish it false,
I know that it is true;
It's dead; I must accept the fact:
I Never Will Have You.

And somehow deep within my heart,
I'll hold onto you still.
I wish I could forget you,
-- but I know I never will.
