I once had love but now it's gone

and I must try to carry on

I knew I loved you way back then

I'll never be the same again

The day we met beside the lake

in truth your looks my breath did take

your eyes were bluer than the sky

for you a hundred times I'd die

To love and lose is better they say

to quote an often used cliche

whoever said this spake untrue

but that's because they ne'er lost you

A dagger in my heart that day

your love for me did fade away

and broken was my heart in two

'cos I was still in love with you
