I know you want to leave, and I'll not beg for you to stay
but before you walk away from me, there's something I need to say
take a good long look at me...and look me in the eye
look deep inside until you find my soul...and listen, cause it'll never lie
these eyes have said it a thousand times...every single time they've seen you
and every time you've touched this body...it too has tried to tell you
but if you've never heard the words...it's time for me to say them
but listen closely with an open heart...it's the only time I'll say them
I'm not telling you to change your mind...so don't stay because of me
my heart and soul have been denied and by telling you...I'll set them free
free to let their feelings show...and to maybe love again
or linger softly in all the memories...until the very end
so now to you I must confess...I have loved you from the start
and through the years the love has grown...so much it's taken hostage of my heart
though I'm not sure which hurts more...keeping my feelings hidden...or letting them show
or more painful still...loving you part-time...or the thought of letting you go
so I've ripped out my heart...and gave it to you...maybe that will ease my pain
and you can do with it what you want...it's already left a bloody stain
you can pretend it never happend...and I'll just look the other way
so now you're free to walk out that door...cause I'll not beg for you to stay
but know in your heart...I'll love you forever...though we'll never share a life
because you are married to another...and I am some one elses' wife
