Spoken:  In a moment, everything that meant anything could 
be torn away from you, it hurts so much....

In the years we’ve been together
I never got to say
If you left my life now
I’d never be the same
Day after day we’ve lived on
In our selfish, foolish pride
Never once did we say I love you
When it would have been so right

That’s what makes leaving you
Hurt the way it does
We  were way too young to realize
It could have been true love
I wish I could live the moments
I let pass me by
Forever is a promise
But we let our love die

Always and forever
It could have been so long
Everything had a meaning
Life was like a song
Oh it was like a perfect world
We never thought would end
And after you I wonder
Can love exist again?

That’s what makes leaving you
Hurt the way it does
We  were way too young to realize
It could have been true love
I wish I could live the moments
I let pass me by
Forever is a promise
But we let our love die

Never again will I hear your voice
And know I’m safe from harm
Never again will I feel your touch
Or snuggle in your arms

That’s what makes leaving you
Hurt the way it does
We  were way too young to realize
It could have been true love
I wish I could live the moments
I let pass me by
Forever is a promise
But we let our love die

Forever is a promise
(spoken) but we let our love die
