Untrue Love Were youthere the day the music died? Did you want to hold me when I cried? Did you fight to stand there by my side When I was in despair? Did you keep me safe within your arms? Did you protect me from all harm? Or did you win me over with your charm, Running fingers through my hair? Did you simply see your chance? To get what you wanted with one dance? You saw me hurting with one glance And decided to fool my heart. And like a fool I went along. When we danced I sang the songs I never thought I could be wrong So I gladly played my part And now I lie here, wondering why I ever thought that you and I Could fall in love and never cry Again for what we've done I'm terrified of the way I feel Now that I know your love isn't real I'm not sure my heart will ever heal Because all I can do is run I run from the future, but mostly the past Through the fields and the forest, so very fast Through the moonlight that midnight has cast Onto my crying face I've prayed that you would decide to stay That I could keep you one more day And that you wouldn't turn away And leave me in this place But I've fooled myself for much too long That our love was not a tragic song And I assume you will be gone No time left to borrow I'll try to smile when you say good-bye And wait until you're gone to cry You'll be strong, and so will I Although I feel such sorrow. And so I'll face this world alone Cold as ice, and hard as stone Until a true love comes alone I've nothing left to fear But when our love has long been dead When we've moved on to the road ahead And I'm lying wide awake in bed Your memory will be here. -Sara Corbin |
