This Love

John Stevens


I was so young I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
To keep her happy every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
And turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
Touching your tender lips
Moving my fingertips
Over every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
