The sun is setting
And alone I sit.
Thinking of you
But wanting to quit.

When all is quiet
I hear your voice
And those words you spoke
When you made your choice.

My eyes want to cry
My heart wants to break
I want to be strong
But I still feel the ache.

I never thought
You could hurt me this way
Your very first promise
You just threw away.

“I’ll never hurt you”
Were the words that you said
That night on the phone
As I laid in my bed

I paused for a moment
“I’ve heard this before”
But this time was different
I was ready for more

I gave you my trust
What was left of my heart
We seemed perfect together
In love from the start

Our moments were magic
Our love was so deep
When I looked in your eyes
I wanted to weep

The rest of my life
With you I would spend
Never thought for a second
Some day it would end

It seems kind of strange
Thinking of that last night
Something had changed
It just didn’t feel right

There I was by your side
But I didn’t belong
I started to think
“Did I do something wrong?”

Then you took me outside
As if all was fine
And told me your plan
I felt frozen in time

I could not believe
The words I had heard
There was no way
This could have occurred

How could this be happening?
It felt like a dream
With this hurt in my heart
All I could do was scream

“This isn’t real”
I thought in my head
My body went cold
As though I was dead

My vision was blurry
My stomach felt sick
Such sheer devastation
Had happened so quick

I started to run
Then turned to ask “Why?”
You could look in my eyes
But you couldn’t reply

And then something happened
Like wind to a flame
The love in me left
Just as fast as it came

Just give me a reason
For the pain that I’m in
Can you just be a man?
Can’t you speak from within?

Tell me what happened
Say what’s on your mind
I need to have answers
So I can leave this behind

My heart has been shattered
My hope is destroyed
But with faith in myself
I will fill this void

I won’t let you break me
You don’t have that power
My strength only grows
With each passing hour

I will get through this
Of that I am sure
For my love of myself
Is the one that is pure
