I learned of your engagement last night
...just before I went to bed
so all night long I agonized
over what I never said

I shall take it to my grave
my feelings, you will never know
they say if you really love someone
you have to let them go
 
this sounds so trite right now
and the sting too much to bear
I wish I could make it stop
I wish I didn't care

we were supposed to be together
It's so obvious to me now
everything could have been perfect
I just screwed it up somehow

I picked him over you
and it cost me all I've got
regret's my closest companion
thru this lesson severly taught

I must surrender you, my darling
and these feelings, forever more
turn my back on all the longing
and on all hope, close the door
 
I really want you to be happy
It just hurts right now you see
I'm sure she will make a lovely wife 
I just wanted it to be me.
