I once had a love,

A true and lasting love,

But the fool in me,

Came out one night.

And with her loving eyes,

She saw right through my lies.

And she changed the night

I stepped across the line.



I should've watched that first step.

It was a mighty big step.

When I started stepping out of line.

Though she's still loving me,

It's not the way it used to be.

That first step did something to her mind.



I watched her slip away.

A little more everyday.

For my conscience

Couldn't live with all that shame.

Now she's growing colder

Since the day i told her.

And the love we had

Will never be the same.
