I Saw You, I Saw Her

I saw you late last night when you thought I wasn't there
I couldn't even breathe; all I could do was stare.
I saw your eyes hold hers for just a second or maybe two
But that was all it took to say that we were through.

I saw her eyes sweep over yours and you held the glance
I saw your body holding hers as slowly you two danced.
I watched her hands steal upwards and gently stroke your face
I saw the delight in your eyes as my memory you erased.

You bent your head down and whispered in her ear
Something sweet I know for only her to hear.
She laughed and she grinned, her lips to you upturned
And as you bent down to meet them my eyes had to turn.

I turned away and stumbled out; so desperate I was to flee
That the tears came spilling down and washing over me.
I knew that we were over when I left that night
I had seen the things that I had feared finally brought to light.

You were not a man to trust, you didn't love my heart
You only wanted a new one that you could tear apart.
I should have known better than to let you deep within
Only now I know that it will never happen agagin.
