In an envelope of heartache
lay the petals of our love,
I gave the very best of me
but it never was enough.
I have to close the chapter
of a love that never grew,
I have to say goodbye at last
to a love that was untrue.
I know I should be happy
to be free from all that pain,
but my fragile heart is breaking
knowing we can never go back again.
So I'm keeping happy memories
pressed between the pages of my mind,
they'll be my life's reminder
of your love I've left behind
lay the petals of our love,
I gave the very best of me
but it never was enough.
I have to close the chapter
of a love that never grew,
I have to say goodbye at last
to a love that was untrue.
I know I should be happy
to be free from all that pain,
but my fragile heart is breaking
knowing we can never go back again.
So I'm keeping happy memories
pressed between the pages of my mind,
they'll be my life's reminder
of your love I've left behind
