I feel like my heart had been stabbed

The day you said we were through

You said I was replaceable

You had found somebody new

I did all I knew was right

Did I miss something, what else was I to do?.

You didn’t even try to fight

for our love so true.

Did you forget all the years we had spent

Dreaming of our new life together

Sharing with our children all the joys

Believing our love would last forever.

Does this mean nothing at all

Since you found this person to take my place?

Was she younger, did she have a prettier face?

I Just want you to remember this one little thing

One day you’ll miss this heart of mine,

You’ll wonder what could have been.

You took me for granted,

You knew I would always be there.

I overlooked your quirks,

I was always fair.

I loved you through so many things

No matter how big they seemed

I did my part in being your wife

I thought that was what wearing wedding rings mean

That we'd given our heart,

That there would be no more lies?

Maybe one day will come

And you’ll remember how important I was

You’ll appreciate all the caring I gave,

and you’ll once again remember my love.
