When The Love Is Gone

When The Love Is Gone

When the love in your heart is no longer there

It makes a relationship much harder to bear

You try to do what you think is right

In hopes that soon you will see daylight

But when darkness is all you have seen so far

You wonder if it's worth to stay where you are

But there are some decisions that are hard to make

That you just do not know what avenue to take

So in the relationship you choose to remain

Even though it causes you a great amount of pain

For there are some things you cannot live without

Even though your heart is filled with a lot of doubt

And having to give up everything you have worked for

Makes how you feel hurt even more

So while you decide what it is you should do

You try not to let everything get the better of you

And that is all you can do with the situation you are in

For you do not know where else to begin

So you think in the long run it is best if you stay

And you deal with whatever it is that comes your way

For some it works out fine and for some it does not

It all depends if you are willing to settle for what you've got

Only you can decide what to do by following what's inside of your heart

And even though it is never easy that is the place where you need to start.
