Let me tell you a story, the story of us
How you always protected me and never gave up
How you know me on the inside as well as the out
How each time I see you my heart wants to shout
Let me say how I want you, I need you, I ache
That you’re the one thing on my mind each morning I wake
You’re the reason I breathe, you’re the reason I give
You’re the reason I fight, you’re the reason I live
After all the years we’ve shared together
The violent storms our trust has weathered
All the days our hearts have beat together
The day we promised that our love would last forever
We promised to share all the secrets we locked deep inside
We promised our souls and then we promised our lives
We have known peace and happiness in one another
You have felt my pain and I have seen you suffer
So I can’t understand why you would hurt me this way
This feeling it caused, it just won’t go away
I’m afraid to close my eyes, It’s all I can see
It’s all I can think of, it won’t set me free
What was it I did wrong, why didn’t I see
That you questioned the faith you once had in me
I want to forgive you, I would go any length
To erase all your sin, if I could just find the strength
What must we do to find what we once had
When my heart it still hurts and my soul feels so sad
My dreams they have fallen, all of them smashed
All the promises made, they all feel like trash
I gave you everything, all I could give
You just couldn’t see you were the reason I lived
You ask my forgiveness, you cry in the night
Will you take it for granted, will you soon forget why
I just want our love back, why is it so hard
As I pick up the pieces of my heart shard by shard
Each night when I lie down I look up and pray
That God will take my hand and show me the way
I swear I still love you, It’s not that .you see
It’s just hard to trust someone who couldn’t trust me
I won’t betray you nor would I ever stray
But it will take time for this hurt to go away
Still when I look inside myself for the answer
There is one thing that eats at my mind like a cancer
That without you I am nothing, I am alone in the dark
Without you in my life I lose the beat of my heart
I still want you, I still need you, Yes.. I still ache
You’re still on my mind every morning I wake
You’re still the reason I breathe, your still the reason I give
You’re still the reason I fight and you are the reason I live
