True Love Pushed Away

Thinking back to the day  
I thought we would never part 
Then suddenly my life would change
Going through a terrible time
My mind would drift away
Parts of life I needed to rearrange 
Although my mind was not alert
By my side you would always stay 
Even as my heart slowly drifted away 

I chose false friends over true love
A love I will never find again
During this time feeling so far away
I made this world my world
Only caring about myself
Thinking I wanted to be alone
You never gave up on our love
A love that I did not show
Again you stayed at my side
I continued to push our love away
For this I will always pay
Pay with this terrible pain

It has been so long 
I realize  the mistakes made
I Never meant to hurt you
I was consumed with myself
I Know that I was wrong
Still you mean so much to me
Now I see you with someone else
I pretend that I don't care
Inside I'm hiding every tear 

Sitting by myself
Thinking of you and the times we had
Our song is played on the radio
"And if I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear"
My life is filled with regret

I pushed true love away
Everyday I look to the sky 
A tear is cried and I ask myself, why?
