Sacrificed Love

Everything was perfect
You were just my dream
We may have had our ups and down
But we were still a team

Never thought it would be over
Never thought that it would end
And I still recall the heartbreak
When you said we'd just be friends

I tried to go along with it
Keep the smile upon my face
Afraid that if I protested
You'd disappear without a trace

And you never knew a thing about
The way I cried myself to sleep
The only thing that kept me strong
Was the pact I'd sworn to keep

I knew I had to get you back
Couldn't spend my life denying
I knew I had to get you back
Or be willing to die trying

But when I went to face you
I saw the look in your eyes
As much as my heart wanted to
I couldn't keep telling myself these lies

You didn't want to be with me
And though my love screamed "No!"
There was only one thing left to do
I had to let you go
