The end to the story I have yet to write.

i wonder if you realize yet
the power of goodbye
my head is held under water
you can't see the tears i cry.

you wouldn't understand
the tears slipping off my face
and i don't expect you to understand
but there's things you can't erase.

being hopeful hurts me.
i know better than to trust what you say
but when you come back i never
have the heart to turn you away.

you don't see what i see
you've got so much love in you
i'm sure when you have your hardest choice
you'll know just what to do.

i wish you could hear my heart
beating under my shirt
and i wish i could see your heart
to see if it's hurt.

you've got so much love in you
i wonder if you care
i wish you would take off your shell
and take in some needed air.

i want to make you understand
i really wish i could
i wish i could love you
like every girlfriend should.

but being hopeful hurts me
i don't want to trust you
but as much as its backfired on me
i know i still do.
