I made a mistake I’ll never forget
I haven’t found a way to forgive myself yet
My stubbornness and pride got in my way
This consequence is my price to pay

We had a little quarrel; a misunderstanding
(If I weren’t so stupid; our love would be everlasting)
It wasn’t before long, when he asked for my forgiveness
I said no… I waited to punish him for this

He said he was leaving and would never return
It thought it was a joke; I wasn’t concerned
But then days turned to weeks; months; years
And there still no sign of him back here

I led myself through a path of sorrow and pain
Now I see my decision had nothing to gain
Now all that’s left are memories and regrets
I cried and tired to move on but I couldn’t forget

If I hadn’t been such a idiot; he’d be by my side
Our love would be strong with nothing to hide
A family of my own; loving and sharing
Surrounded by love; everyone so caring

So now you know why I sit here alone
Living by myself in this lonely home
I let my love go along with all my dreams
They’ll never come back; I so want to scream

My heart was shattered and all my hopes lost
My pride was not worth it; for all it has cost
I lost everything; all that I ever knew
I stand here lost; with nothing to do

So you see; I made a mistake I’ll never forget
I haven’t found a way to forgive myself yet
My stubbornness and pride got in my way
This consequence is my price to pay
