broken heart

I knew from the beginning
That you were just a flirt,
But yet I fell in love with you
Knowing I'd be hurt.

I thought that I could tie you down
And make you love just one
But how could I do something
No one else had ever done.

I know you'll never love me
And I'm trying not to cry
For I must find the strength somehow
To kiss your lips goodbye

When you ask for me again
You'll find I won't be there
I want a love to call my own
Not one I have to share.

For I must hide my broken heart
Beneath a laughing face
And though you think I never cared
No one can take your place
