Too often we don't realize
what we have until it's gone;
Sometimes we wait far too long
to say, "I'm sorry ...I was wrong."

Why do we hurt the ones
that is closest to our heart?
Why do we allow our pride
to keep tearing us apart?



I wonder if you think of me
when couples are strolling along,
And do you ever hurt inside
when you hear our favourite song?

And when it's very quiet
as you sit there all alone...
Do you remember my number
when you look over at the phone?



What you wear in your heart,
will show upon your face,
Because memories of a true love,
can never be replaced.

I pray we will not leave this world
before saying what's in our heart.
For life is short enough we know,
to let pride keep us apart.



I feel these words I must say,
no longer can I wait.
My voice must be heard today,
