The Flame No Longer Burns

She said goodbye, with a tear in her eye,
But I never believed she would ever leave.
As I left for work, She'd called me a jerk,
I tried to call, But got no answer at all.

When I got home, I was there all alone,
I found a note, She cried while she wrote.
It told me why, she was saying good bye.
She made me see, Why she was leaving me.

Chorus:
She wrote:
It's hard to love someone,
When love's not returned.
You never gave me respect,
My love was never earned.
You never showed you cared,
You never acted concerned.
These things killed my love,
The flame no longer burns

My love was never earned.
You never showed you cared,
You never acted concerned.
These things killed my love,
The flame no longer burns
