"I swear I loved you---

---the only way I could

but sometimes it proves that love is not enough.

I gave what I had--flaws and all—

And hoped that you would see it,

Care and appreciate the strife

But pain seeped through the cracks of the floor

And I'll admit I'm not perfect;

Trust is my downfall.

And you:

So amazing I'm just not worthy.

Oh, the naivety of a first love!

Oh, to feel it from a child's heart again!

Hard love is love just the same

And I never meant to play these games

I swear I loved you---

---the only way I could

But sometimes it proves that love is not enough."
