Don't give it up if you're not willing to let it go

I hate that you don't love me
I hate that I even care
I hate that you don't notice me
Even when I'm right there
I hate that I don't matter
That I will never be yours
But that's the way love is
When you're only the girl next door

They say never look back
For it’s just too late
But I still have the memories
And they keep me awake
I know it’s hard to see it happen
I don’t want it to,
Because I still believe in us
The dreams I had with you

Pictures of our past
Haunt me in my sleep
Wondering what happened
To all we tried to keep
It went so very perfect
I don 't understand the change
We couldn't say I love you
We're drifted...now it's all too strange

I've looked beyond the stars
Searched far beyond the seas
Looking for my one true love
Who would be there for me
To open up my eyes
And help me experience love
The kind you hear in fairy tales
The kind we can only dream of

You held me in your arms
I knew I stood a chance
To be with you forever
It started with this last slow dance
From that point on I knew
That we were meant to be
And that no matter what happened
You'd always be there for me

I don't know how to let go
I can't seem to stop the tears
From flowing down my face
After so many lonely years
I can't help but wonder what
I did to make you leave
I guess dreams aren't for keeping
And no more point to believe

Roses are for love
Candy is for lust
Diamonds are for ever
all materials you can't trust
Don't look at what he's holding
Look inside his heart
It will tell you if he means:
Till death do us part

Can you open my eyes
So I see what's right in front of me
Open my heart
So I know what it's like to be
In love

I gave you everything i had... should have known.... you'd throw it all way... and leave me alone
