I can not write tonight
I really don't know why
Is this just an excuse or is it the truth
I can't no matter how hard I try

I wanted to say my friend, I miss you
I love you tonight or maybe even I care
You always seem to get upset when I do
So another night I just don't dare

I thought at times I had to convince you
I thought maybe you couldn't see
That in my heart I do love you
Now did I do that for only me?

I never looked to see if you needed me
I just looked at the times when I needed you
And tonight that is where I had to stop
Openly saying" I love you still, even if you say were through"

I kept telling myself we had everything
If you look at times we did, everything was fine
We didn't have it together though
Not in your eyes….only in mine

So as I watch, will my love disappear?
Day by day, year by year

Everyone is afraid of starting over
Maybe not wanting to let go
Confused in saying the words, I love you
When it's gone where do you turn, does anyone really know?

I finally turned and faced myself
To see if I had the answer to the question why
I saw it then that I caused my pain
I could never say the words Good-bye
