We met, became friends then our love grew over time,
When it was over, `You Gave Me Back`, what a crime,
You can`t stop loving someone like you tried to do,
I loved you more than I think you really knew.
I felt I had been used by you for a short time,
Our love was true, yes, I was yours and you were mine,
When trouble brewed you got cold feet and just left me,
I was hurting so bad why couldn`t you see?
I tried to talk to you but you just shut me out
I was so hurt I wanted to scream and shout,
The hurt you caused me was just beyond compare
So I had to strive to get you out of my hair.
I guess you told yourself it was all for the best,
I hope you have never known a moments rest,
When things flared, you didn`t look far enough ahead
You couldn`t see past the moment and ended it instead.
We couldn`t stop our love for one another
For us at the time there was no other,
We only had eyes for one another you see,
We renewed a spark and our spirits were free.
I wanted to stand on the tallest mountain with you
While the wind took our breath we could enjoy the view,
It would have been like almost touching the sky,
With you by my side I`d of felt I could fly.
I wanted us to walk on a far distant shore,
Where happiness reigned without so much as a flaw,
Where only two sets of footprints were ever found,
Where our love would grow and be finally crowned.
We could have woken up in each other`s arms every day,
Holding one another tight, wouldn`t that have been ok?
Kissed by the rays of the sun peeping thru` the curtain,
A blissful start to the day of that I`m certain.
Rapt in each other we could have strolled hand in hand
We`d of travelled far and wide in this happy land,
Making each other happy and laughing all the while,
There would be nothing less on our lips than a smile.
If you think back to our last moment of time together
We must have known it would have to last us forever,
`Cos that last hug and that gentle sensual kiss
Was the end to our newly found bliss, all of which I miss.
We could have met surreptitiously as before,
The times we had were great but they are no more,
I long for those days and for them my heart does cry,
But they can`t be, `cos `You Gave Me Back`, why oh! why?
That was just one chapter in our life
Leaving a wound in my heart like a knife,
Not `cos it happened `cos THAT I don`t regret,
It`s the fact `You Gave Me Back` and THAT I won`t forget.
