Souvenir

(Kevin Gilbert)

I tried to love you
I tried to open up your heart
You knew the motive
And my intentions from the start

But say it soft
I only know what I was meant to hear
To hear
'Cause now you're gone
And loneliness is my only souvenir
A souvenir

'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
But it's love unreturned
Another lesson to be learned
And it's love denied
Nearly pushed aside
That makes wanting you here
Such a bitter souvenir
A souvenir

I tried to hurt you
I tried to take away your pride
Your pride
'Cause I needed something
To fill the emptiness inside
Inside

So say it loud
I only know what I was meant to hear
To hear
'Cause now you're gone
And wanting you is my only souvenir
A souvenir

'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
But it's love unreturned
Another lesson to be learned
And it's love denied
Nearly pushed aside
And wanting you here
Is such a bitter souvenir
A souvenir
