Fundamentally selfish

It's fundamentally selfish

That I don't want anyone else to have to suffer through what you put me through

That another woman could endure you better then I can

That you could love another woman

The way you will never love me

You see I couldn't bare it

I can't bare the thought

I know I have hurt you

In my cruelty

Because you can't see that in my eyes

Nothing could be crueler then having to be the one woman you will not bless.

And still

I can't bare to think you'd find someone else to put up with you

Better then I can

To endure days and nights alone.

Would you ever have the heart

To put any other woman Thru this

Or is it my stubbornness

My unwillingness to accept defeat

So I hold on still knowing

That you do not love me

That you will never love me

Still

I can't accept defeat
