Your smile used to lift my heart, But your smile is not for me, You beam from ear to ear, For a woman I cannot be. *** I know it's stupid, You were never mine, And I could never be, But it hurts like it should have been. *** You were in my affections, The only one I could see, A future ahead for me, But these things cannot be. *** She can give you, What I never could, You can be the man, You wanted to be. *** I mourn the relationship, That never was mine, That never could have been, And yet it feels like you've broken up with me.
