I Love You But It Hurts Me
I love you but it hurts me so
When I see you cry
I wonder how I can bear this life
And there's one thing I'd like you to know
One day I'd like you to be my wife
If I ever break your heart
You can tear me through the ages
For I have made the promise my intentions are pure
And have written love poems on thousands of pages
A woman of internal beauty has such a lure
I love you but it hurts me
To think I can't be as great as you are in my eyes
And you know that I mean it and these are not lies
That's just how well my sweetness you know me
For the last brief year I have been lucky to know you
But it's felt so long I wish I could show you
To the one I love I give you the key to my heart
For a lifetime I never want to be apart
I love you but it hurts me whenever I leave your side
To think that pain could come to you
But from it we can't hide
There is a light that I get from your soul
In it I see eternity's love and truth
With you I could walk the long mile
