  • I was young but I wasn't naive
    I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
    And still I have the pain I have to carry
    A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

    After all this time
    I never thought we'd be here
    Never thought we'd be here
    When my love for you was blind
    But I couldn't make you see it
    Couldn't make you see it
    That I loved you more than you'll ever know
    A part of me died when I let you go

    I would fall asleep
    Only in hopes of dreaming
    That everything would be like is was before
    But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
    They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

    After all this time
    I never thought we'd be here
    Never thought we'd be here
    When my love for you was blind
    But I couldn't make you see it
    Couldn't make you see it
    That I loved you more than you'll ever know
    A part of me died when I let you go

    After all this time
    Would you ever want to leave it
    Maybe you could not believe it
    That my love for you was blind
    But I couldn't make you see it
    Couldn't make you see it
    That I loved you more than you will ever know
    A part of me died when I let you go
    And I loved you more than you'll ever know
    A part of me dies when I let you go Writer/s: JASON WADE
