I felt something special
Right from the start
I opened up my soul
Giving you my cherished heart
I trusted you with it
Hoping there would be no pain
Into my world I let you
Praying you would always remain
I opened for you the door
That I had protected each day
Knowing no harm would come
If I kept people away
Your kind words fooled me
I thought I knew what you meant
The truth you kept hid
While a message you sent
You said you loved me
This I wanted to be true
Giving my soul to you this day
Wanting my life to include you
I then heard the words
That tore me deep inside
Many wounds you opened
Ripping my heart deep and wide
The words of love I had heard
Quickly turned to those of hate
Each day my pain grew more
In doom had I sealed my loves fate
The final day had now come
When I heard those words good-bye
I sat there in my dark world
But in strength I refused to cry
I knew it would be better
If I just turned and walked away
Forgetting you had entered my world
On that long ago day
I watched as you departed
No love for you did I now hold
The fire in my heart that burned
Has died and now sits cold
Another wall I have built this day
To protect my now fragile heart
Knowing it will be harder
For another to tear apart
Do not turn around and wave
Or even say a good-bye
But remember you are the one
That caused my love to die
