I can?t believe this now
This isn?t what I planned
I lived and died and now
I just can?t understand
With all the love I feel
I could never leave her
No matter what the cost
My soul?s the price to see her

Oh how I love you
The pain won?t go away
Oh when I need you
You?re always so far away
I cry for you
Leaving myself to blame
I died for you
I gave up everything

The pain was just too much
When I finally saw her
She?s happy and in love
In love with my best friend
What makes it hurt so bad
is that I love them both
And they will never know
for love I sold my soul
