Love has always hurt in the past
though I though it would, it'd never last
One too many broken hearts
my heart is now in pieces and parts
He always said what I wanted to hear
But in the end, it caused some tears
I know it's not fair to compare him to you
But how else can I know if what we have is true
Something that happend long, long ago
ruined my life more than you know
No matter what I do, it's always there
I can't forget and it's really not fair
Because of my past, I might seem scared
because he said it was because he cared
Nobody knows the pain it has caused
my respect and dignity I have lost
It is in my mind and in my heart
my life is not only who it is a part
not just me, it affects you too
But this is my life; what can I do
I want so badly to just foget
but it's a part of my life I'll have to accept
I should be able to deal with it by now
but at this point in my life, I just don't know how
It tears my up inside to know
pain from my past, I can't help but show
It hurts when you ask "what's wrong with you?"
Although I say "nothing", you see right through
I want to explain this feeling, I do
But I don't know how without offending you
I love you more than words can say
So please don't think that I think you're that way
In the past, it's only been lust
But today, you are who I want to trust
So please don't let what we have be fake
because another heartache, I could not take
The scars from my past, they are real
So give me the time it'll take to heal
Be caring, understanding, and true
and never forget, I'll always love you
