I Still Do

I'm reading your "dear john";

It says you're moving on

You need your space, you need some time

And greener grass you seek to find

I saw it from afar

I knew it in my heart

The happiness had gone away

Pretended we would be ok

For every time you've made me cry

I gotta sit and wonder why

I love you, I still do

I need you, I always will

I want you to hold me tight

I need you with me tonight

I still do

Why do I hold on?

Why can't I be strong?

I know it's time to walk away

But still inside I hope and pray

That you'll return to me

My eyes too blind to see

That love should never bring me pain

I know I can't go on this way

I gotta wipe away the tears

I gotta stand and face my fears

I gotta love myself enough to make it better

The woman that I used to be

I know she's still inside of me

I'll find a way to breathe again

This won't be how my story ends
