6.00.01 Never Be By: Jennifer

I watch as our fire slowly dies out,
Wondering when I began to give into the doubts.
I can remember how strong our love had been before,
And here I wonder if I could have somehow given you more.

Baby I think of you every second of every day,
Wondering why I never noticed when the sky had gone gray,
If you had really loved me, you would have been here today,
But no matter how much I wanted it, it never went that way.

I never wasted any of my time devoting it to you,
I never wasted any of my tears crying over you,
I never wasted any of my heart by giving it to you,
But everyone says I’m wasting my life by dying over you.

I know you don’t want to stay but I just can’t let you go,
Waking up without you is a pain too strong to know,
I gave you all I had in me until there was nothing left to show,
But you walked away so easily and the tears began to flow.

Baby I would have given you all I had inside,
I watched through pain filled eyes as you spoke undying lies,
I stood watching you in disbelief as you slowly pushed me aside,
I guess I should have known these things fade with passing time.

And I guess I’ll always know you as the one that slipped away,
The one I found out I truly loved but only when it was too late,
The one I would have died for but wouldn’t have died for me,
And now that the fire has fully burned out, I know it’ll never be.
