To the wife
I know you don't know me,
but I know who you are.
Please let me explain
before this goes too far.
He said it was over,
he was done with it all.
So, I left my heart open
I allowed it to fall.
I started to plan,
I planed a whole new life.
Little did I know...
You were still his wife.
That look in his eyes
that made my heart melt.
Made me believe him
and the feelings I felt.
Slowly but surely
the truth came to light.
I had to end it.
It was the only thing right.
I thought i should tell you
He screwed us both.
I'm sorry I played a part
in him breaking his oath.
