Never Should Have Let You Go

I never should have let you go
Now when I try to be alone
With someone other than you
I look into their eyes 
There is no feeling that is true

When we were together
You were always there 
True love from the very start
But I never appreciated you 
The way that I needed to

No matter what I did
You always understood
Not worrying if you should
These things I chose to do
No matter what I said the reason
For some of the things done
Many times it was not true
Still you did not run 

When I was hurt 
Many would not have stayed
But you just laid
By my side
Never thinking
About the world outside

As I recovered
Thinking I wanted to be on my own
Again you understood
And stayed by my side
I thought I wanted to be alone 
I made this world my own
In my mind trying to decide
If I cared about my family, my friends
Myself, and even you
 
Again I would show I did not appreciate 
The things that you do 
I left your true love for false friends
Friends that did not stay
Your love is a love that I can never find again
Now you are so far away
When I saw you with someone else
I acted like I did not care
But inside I was hiding every tear

After being on my own 
I realize how hard it is to be alone
I never should have let you go

I will always love you
