What did I do wrong?
I sure can't work it out.
Maybe it wasn't anything,
It's just how things turn out.
Perhaps some things just aren't meant to be,
No matter how hard you try.
Maybe love ain't all its cracked up to be,
It just hurts and makes you cry.
A special person like this,
I've never found before.
Maybe our paths will never cross again,
In the same way as before.
Or perhaps at a time unknown to us,
Old flames will be re-kindled.
Or else we'll both find others,
When memories have dwindled.
To dwell on it is wrong I guess,
But it aches so bad deep down.
One day true love will find its way to me,
And I'll fall in, breathe and drown.
