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) There's nary a god, In loneliness, he's my only souvenir. (a souvenir) 'Cause I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, But it's love unreturned, 'Nother lesson to be learned, And it's love denied, Really 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 Maybe pushed aside And wanting you here Such a bitter souvenir (a souvenir)
