Today of all days
I witnessed the demise
Of principles I believed in

Such extreme agony
As I woke in tears

Today I saw
With my own eyes
The betrayal of my soul

The pain of a love
I needed to honor

Today I said
"take her and make her happy"
"she chose you"

I wished
It was me she wanted

Not the liar who used her
Not the friend that hurt me
Not this goddamn farce of a man

Yet she left
Because she fell

And I let her
Because I loved her
And respected her decision

I want her to be happy
I hope he could do that

Yet he denied her
Though she wanted him
And she stays nonetheless

Though it may be bleak for me
I will wait... I will love

Ready to take her
Prepared to love her
Never deny her
