This is a story that every girl knows
A story full of heartbreak and ache
It starts out as a sweet innocent tale
And ends in an abruption of tears

I too loved someone so dearly
He was perfect, well, perfect in my eyes
He never did anything wrong
The only thing he did wrong to me
Was that he did not love me in return

But I was blind to his flaws
Like anyone in love would be
I could see him in my mind
Before I drifted off to sleep
His gaze, his smile, his voice
That sang so sweetly in my ears

He was everything I wanted…
But I felt I could never deserve such perfection

I waited for him patiently
For what seemed like years
I sat in my cage and longed
Hoping to one day hear him say…

…I love you

But as hard as one tries
One sided love can never last
And with tears in my eyes
I decided to throw down the towel
And walk away from it all
Never to return to those images again

But months later
Those same tears
From the day I said goodbye
They filled my eyes again
As the thought of you entered my mind
And again I could hear
Your sweet song playing in my ear

And now I sit here
I don’t mean to sound sullen or sad
But how would you feel
When you knew you couldn’t escape
From the very thing you wanted
And you knew you could never have it
And you knew you had to let it go

I don’t apologize for my tears
I only apologize that I was never good enough
That I could never be there for him
That I will never be the one

That I am so imperfect
In the same eyes that sees
Him to be so perfect
