Untrue Love
Were you there the day the music died?
Did you want to hold me when I cried?
Did you fight to stand there by my side
When I was in despair?
Did you keep me safe within your arms?
Did you protect me from all harm?
Or did you win me over with your charm,
Running fingers through my hair?
Did you simply see your chance
To get what you wanted with one dance?
You saw me hurting with one glance
And decided to fool my heart.
And like a fool I went along.
When danced I sang the songs.
I never thought I could be so wrong,
So I gladly played my part.
And now I lie here, wondering why
I ever thought that you and I
Could fall in love and never cry
Again for what we've done.
I'm terrified of the way I feel
Now that I know your love isn't real.
I'm not sure my heart will ever heal,
Because all I can do is run.
I run from the future, but mostly from the past
Through the fields and the forrests, so very fast.
Through the moonlight that midnight have cast
Onto my crying face.
I've prayed that you would decide to stay,
That I could keep you just one more day,
And that you wouldn't turn away,
And leave me in this place.
But I've fooled myself for much too long,
That our love was not a tragic song.
And I assume you will be gone,
No time lift to borrow.
I'll try to smile when you pass by
And wait till you're gone to cry.
You'll be strong and so will I
Even though I feel so much sorrow.
And so I'll face this world alone,
Cold as ice, and hard as stone,
Until a true love comes along.
I've nothing to fear.
But when our love has long been dead,
When we've moved on to the road ahead,
And I'm lying wide awake in bed,
Your memory will be here, right here in my heart.
