the hurt of you

it hurt a year ago
it will hurt again tomorrow
it still hurts 'til this day
and i'm certain it won't go away.

for whatever reason you hold
for leaving me out in the cold
is locked in a memory
of an "us" that could not be
should you come back to me
and tell me i'm your only
i'd gladly risk it all
for another chance to fall.

i heard you found somebody new
does he make you laugh like i do?
yet still i'd be looking behind
hoping it's you i would find.

but until that time arrives
this sweet longing i keep inside
feet on the ground, walk one more mile
around my friends, i flash a smile
i lift my head and be strong
because i know it won't be long
til someone else would come my way
and sweep me off my feet one day.

one fact remains 'til time stands still
for you, this heart would beat and feel
whoever's by your side tonight
i realize it's him who's right.

it hurt a minute ago
it will hurt again i know
never mattered what time of day
it's you forever and it won't go away.
