I found out the awful truth today
The love of my life had gone astray
And to find this out crushed my heart
For I didn't want to know we'd part
I sat in awe and then I cried
I tried to hide my tears inside
But the more I denied the awful truth
The more I knew I had the proof
I wondered all night about the past
Is this what if feels like to be last?
My heart belonged to you alone
While yours went astray to parts unknown
And as I thought of this awful truth
I made up excuses to hide my proof
But the excuses I made were hard to believe
For those excuses were made by me
I can't deny that I've been bad
And that my emotions were running mad
But was this any reason to lie?
To hide what you felt inside
The days go on, maybe months or years
But this fear inside I'll never reveal
For it's best for me not knowing the truth
Because I love you too much to be without you

When every time I see someone act idiotically, ill-advised

You showed me empathy
by listening each day
It was like you were me
taking my loneliness away
None of it was easy
