I love you, yet
I cannot tell you
Its not that I don’t know
Its just that I can’t say

Those three magic words
They mean so much
They hold the world in them
And yet we do not say them

Why do we use so many words
Why do we say so much
Why do we hide so much
When just three little words would suffice

Three little words that
Are nothing by themselves
But when put together
They make the world go around.

I know all this
And yet I hesitate
What do I fear so much
And is this really fear.

No, I know I love you
And that’s above all else
I know I must tell you
That I love you and yet…

Let me live my life
my life is mine, is it not
then why do I need to
even ask you

why is it that you
must know all I do
why the people I meet
must be your choice
am I not entitled to
make my own choices

why must the man I love
be approved by you
is it me or you
who’s gonna live with him
why must you interfere
let us figure out our lives ourselves

he needs to understand me
and I need to understand him
and in all this there is nothing
at all for you to understand
why don’t you just
leave us alone.

its my life
and I wanna
live it my way
so just
let me be…

You didn’t look back
just walked away,
had tears in my eyes but
had to smile and say goodbye.

How was it so easy for you
to just let it all go,
What did you see in her
that wasn’t in me…

One look in her eyes
and you forgot all about me
teach me this trick my sweet
it may dull some of the pain.

What happened to those promises
all those dreams I saw with you
where did they all go
can one touch of someone else scatter them so.

Was my love so feeble and weak
where did I go wrong
what is it that I did not do
what is it that she gave you?

Do you not feel my pain
did you not hear my heart break
how was it so easy for you to say
that your in love with someone else.

You asked me if it was ok
if I’d be fine
if it would take too much time
to forget that once you were mine.

What could I say
but just smile
and hide all the hurt
I felt inside.

But nothing would help
you had decided to leave
no matter what I said or felt
you just had to go.

So I just smiled
like I accepted it all
just lowered my eyes
and let you go.

But I loved you
loved you enough
to let you go…
