I sense his sorrow
I know his pain
For it is I who caused it
Each time he sees me
His heart shatters again
His entire body shakes
With his sobs for the love he has lost
Perhaps I truly did love him once
But he could not resist the temptations of this world
He knew when he did it
He had lost me
But then it was too late
He begged, he pleaded, he promised
He swore he would change
But the deed was done
And now I can look into those eyes
Those deep, dark eyes
The same eyes I used to love
That are haunted now
He is haunted by me, my love,
His love for me
One glance in those eyes
Shows me the agony he bears
The pain because he knows I care
His soul is in torment
And I know why
And I am sorry
And I would try to help
But it would only hurt her
Because he would always love me more
And I hate to cause so much pain and suffering
But I have seen it all
I have known the pain of others
And I never want to feel the pain
Of my own
So I continue to break hearts
And I continue to shudder
When I look into their eyes
And realize that I am the cause of so much pain
But I would rather cause it
Than have it
Wouldn't you?
