"A Love To Call My Own"

I knew from the beginning
That you were just a flirt.
but yet I fell in love with you
Knowing I'd be hurt.

I thought that I could tie you down, and make you love just one.
but how could I do something,
No one else had ever done.

I know you'll never love me,
and I'm trying not to cry.
For I must find the strength somehow,
To kiss your lips goodbye.

When you ask for me again,
You'll find I won't be there.
I want a love to call my own,
Not one I have too share.

For I must hide my broken heart,
Beneath a laughing face.
And though you think I never cared,
No one can take your place..
