My Lie

I'll never forget the day that I said okay.
And gave you away.
I tried to hold you close,
I tried to make the most,
I wanted to love you forever,
How did I know that to you forever meant never.
I sit here and cry so silently,
My tears flow, creating a stream.
Does anyone care? Does anyone hear?
Does anyone know I need you near?

I love you
I miss you
I need you
To kiss you

I held on tight
For hope that you might
Love me again,
At least be my friend.
Why do things change?
Why I am the victim of game?
How come it has to be this way?
Why the lies you say?

You said you'd always love me, you said you'd always care
Now I need your love, that just isn't there.
I need you in my life
To hold me tight.
I need your hope
I need you to cope.

Why don't you understand?
Why won't you hold my hand?
Can't you see,
I need you with me.
My hardest choice was to say good-bye.
You should of known those words were a lie.
For days to come, and nights not spared
I thought of your life, your love, your care.
I wanted you near me to hold, to kiss.
I need you to know your love I will always miss.
You said I was special, a gift to you.
You were my angel, my special gift to.

You said things changed,
You didn't feel the same
You said I didn't need you
But you must have been blind to see,
That all I needed was you with me.

I hope you remember,
Please don't forget,
When I said good-bye….
It was only a lie.
