You have to write what you feel, even when it's tough

Said I was stayin’ home today? That used to mean lovin’ play? But your look told me... you’re confused Then I went and said the words? Shock was followed by the hurt? Love doesn’t mean we always get to choose You know I loved you... please hear me You know I loved you... and I still care You know I loved you... forgive me? But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there We’ve both grown our separate ways It happens a lot these days? Tryin’ to heal scars with drink I hope someday we can be friends? Once we get past the might have beens? You can bet on love, but it’s never a sure thing You know I loved you... please hear me You know I loved you... and I still care You know I loved you... forgive me? But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there There’s nothing you did, there’s nothing to change Sometimes love just slips away... You know I loved you... please hear me You know I loved you... and I still care You know I loved you... forgive me? But there’s no holdin’ onto love not there
