I'll Take The Tears

Don't speak, seal your lips, please don't say a word
Maybe I won't remember the words I have not heard
I see that you're in love, I know it's not with me
But I don't want the truth to haunt my memory

It's never too late to relight the fire
It's never stopped burning for me
The flame, it never died inside of me

How is it now that I can tell you I love you
How is it only now that it's too late, what can I do?
The love that we had is torn in two
So you take the smiles from all of our years, I'll take the tears

I sit and reminisce of times that we once shared
You gave me more than love but never thought I cared
My feelings were all for you although it didn't show
I only told you on the day you let me go

It's never too late to relight the fire
It's never stopped burning for me
The flame, it never died inside of me

How is it now that I can tell you I love you
How is it only now that it's too late, what can I do?
The love that we had is torn in two
So you take the smiles from all of our years, I'll take the tears

Now I realize that you're no longer mine
But I'm hoping that the pain will ease in time
Although you're leaving, I won't say goodbye
Because I know you're here with me inside

How is it now that I can tell you I love you
How is it only now that it's too late, what can I do?
The love that we had is torn in two
So you take the smiles from all of our years, I'll take the tears
