I treasured you in my heart.
I wish we'd never be apart
Because you're the best thing I've ever had.
I never thought I could be this sad.
You told me you're better off alone.
Somehow I believed you, and I tried to be strong.
Deep inside me I know something is wrong,
But because I loved you, I continued to hold on.
And then one day I woke up with tears in my eyes.
I told myself "that's enough" and so I realized
That I've given everything I've ever had,
But despite all of these, you chose to break my heart.
It's true I've never been perfect,
But I thought you told me that everyone has its own defects.
I know I hurt you; I know I made you cry,
But I've always been true to you; my love was never a lie.
So go on, live your life the way it should be.
I'm finally letting go, so now you're free.
I'm moving on, but I will always remember
The friend I had in you that I hope I'll have forever.
