Ripped and Replaced

By: ChRis Torn

You play with my insides, you think it's a game
But at the end of each day, I still feel the same
I can't have what I want, I can't have what I need
I wish you weren't so perfect, so my heart could be freed

You think it's a game, but each day brings more pain
You play with my heart, but I still love you the same
My insides are twisted, they're torn right apart
Still every part of me wants you, you hold the key to my heart

I do everything for you, you mean the world to me
But I guess that to you I'm not satisfactory
I am filled with desire, a need for your love
Yet it seems very useless when I get no help from above

You talk without knowing the pain that you cause
As if it's a joke, and your heart knows no pause...
From going with every guy that you see
I feel as if my heart's dangling from a tree

I sit here and write this for some to read
But I don't know the meaning of my own symphony
Is it love? Is it hate? Is it just unexplained?
Well it must be the first, for my love has not waned

Each day it grows stronger, if you're by my side
I do everything possible to change your mind...
About going with him, the one that I hate
But I guess that I'll help you, and leave the rest up to fate

You are my queen, my one shining star
That stands out in the night above the rest of them all
Your beauty astounds me, your love fills the room
But it seems that it's always for another to consume

I feel cold, I feel lonely, left out in the rain
To see you happy without me brings only more pain
I can't stand this feelling, God when will it stop?
If it keeps on going then I'm gonna pop

I thank you so much for being my best friend
The one upon which I can depend
You are the best thing to ever happen to me
I'll have love for you always, I hope this you can see

I'll be back for you Carmen, my love you'll accept
Because you know I'm the one you'll no longer reject
Our love will then grow, with each passing day
I think of the words that I will then say

"I love you my darling, it's the way it used to be
It has all gone perfectly, as you can plainly see
I remember those days, the smell of your hair
but now all my feelings I will have to bare
You are the first, the only, the last
I thank God many times I didn't leave you in the past"

Then you'll say the words which will be spoken so true,
"I'll love you forever" and I'll know we're not through
Although it's just dreaming, I pray that it's true
For I count down the days until we both say, "I do."
