Array ( [sid] => 62871 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Have Been Selfish [time] => 2004-09-07 10:42:12 [hometext] => I have caused Mark too much hurt, it's about time for me to be strong and face my fears... [bodytext] => Cried my heart out yesterday,
Our love was almost washed away,
Goodbye’s were on the tip of your tongue,
The last bell was very nearly rung.

I cried & sobbed at what I thought I’d lost,
I wanted you back at any cost,
My heart was empty & had no beat,
The world had collapsed at my very feet.

My problems blinded me from seeing,
Just how self centred I was being,
You were hurting as was I,
But all I could hear was my own cries.

I didn’t know my depression had taken it’s toll,
Made you feel down, weak & very old,
Until I stopped & looked right into you,
Now I know what I have to do.

When two people have what we have got,
It’s too precious to let it rot,
The love between us is amazing,
I can not see it ever fading.

Your needs from now I will put first,
Never again do I want to hurt,
The man that I love & just simply adore,
With my fears I have to settle the score.

Your eyes were filled with fresh tears,
When I spoke & told of my fears,
You want to help but don’t know how,
You stood by me even when I’ve been a cow.

Thank you for giving me this last chance,
To prove that I can make your heart dance,
If we’d have split our lives would have been empty,
We’d both have felt heartache in a plenty.

I Have Been Selfish

Cried my heart out yesterday,
Our love was almost washed away,
Goodbye’s were on the tip of your tongue,
The last bell was very nearly rung.

I cried & sobbed at what I thought I’d lost,
I wanted you back at any cost,
My heart was empty & had no beat,
The world had collapsed at my very feet.

My problems blinded me from seeing,
Just how self centred I was being,
You were hurting as was I,
But all I could hear was my own cries.

I didn’t know my depression had taken it’s toll,
Made you feel down, weak & very old,
Until I stopped & looked right into you,
Now I know what I have to do.

When two people have what we have got,
It’s too precious to let it rot,
The love between us is amazing,
I can not see it ever fading.

Your needs from now I will put first,
Never again do I want to hurt,
The man that I love & just simply adore,
With my fears I have to settle the score.

Your eyes were filled with fresh tears,
When I spoke & told of my fears,
You want to help but don’t know how,
You stood by me even when I’ve been a cow.

Thank you for giving me this last chance,
To prove that I can make your heart dance,
If we’d have split our lives would have been empty,
We’d both have felt heartache in a plenty.
