Don't Give Up on Me

I said I'd follow my heart
I'd never go too far
I'd never give up on love
or ever forsake my heart

But you smiled at me just right
and said you'd always care
I thought you were for me
no other could compare

So I gave into you need
and let my innocense die
And I told you how I felt
as I gazed into your eye

Then you held me for a time
but began to pull away
As you slowly walked away
alittle more each day

You took my love for granted
and expected me to care
While others came along
with so much love to share

My teardrops fall tonight
as I lay alone in bed
While mixed emotions and shattered
dreams swirl in my head

My arms just want to hold you
and never let you go
But you don't hold me anymore
and let your feelings show

Deep down I know you care
and long to hold me near
Yet your undying passions
are overcome by fear

Maybe that I'll hurt you
and someday walk away
Or maybe that you'll be tied down
by a love that will never stray

But love can't be forgotten
it never leaves your heart
Even if it hurt you
and tore your dreams apart

So please say you'll stay
say you'll hold me near
Take away this sadness
and wipe away my tears

So tell me we can work it out
and we can set these feeling free
Tell me that you'll hold me close each night
and that you won't give up on me
