I could hold on to this forever or simply just let it go
I could die here alone tonight and you would never know
If I held you in my arms, everything would feel alright
But you’re just letting me go without even a fight
I remember the way your lips pressed warmly against mine
But it is just a memory lost in past time
You made promises that you wouldn’t keep
And it hurts so bad because I fell so deep
We talk like nothing is wrong
And I pretend that I remain strong
I left the window open, and you found your way out
Being able to survive without you is something I always doubt
I feel used and betrayed, put through endless pain
What happened to our vows, marriage should always remain
Why would you lie and break promises that you’ve made
My dreams are shattered and our love slowly begins to fade
You tell me this is for the best
But it makes me want to thrust a knife into my chest
I know one day you will open your eyes and realize what you’ve lost
But I’ll be gone forever, for that is the cost
