I've given up on right and wrong

'Cause life is short and I don't have long

And I guess I thought you knew

Everything I feel for you



Maybe you never noticed before

All the time that I spent outside your door

While you were falling asleep

I prayed the Lord your soul to keep



Love will crush your soul if you let it

But I have only once regretted

The words I might have left unspoken

The promises I might have broken



I don't know if I've said it yet

But there is something that I just cannot forget

How you wounded my pride

No matter how hard I tried



Maybe you never noticed before

All the nights that I stood outside your door

If I set you free

There's no going back for me



Love will crush your soul if you let it

But I have only once regretted

The words I might have left unspoken

The promises I might have broken
