Watching, as time passes me by
Feeling alone through it all
I've again let myself feel
And again, I've let myself hurt

I know that I'd let her into my heart
By chance, I had wandered into hers
My hand, reaching out, out for another
That hand, that welcoming grasp

Hoping, standing strong with faith
Wanting more than anything, to be there
To hold her against me,
Feel her heart beat
Know her true self, and mine too

Somehow, it just doesn't want to end
The pain, the suffering, the love
Even as much as it hurts, I like it
I want to feel it, to know it's real

This world, it looks down on me
This love, it shouldn't be
I've lost this battle once before
I can't lose it again, not again

Standing here, waiting for her
Holding my arms open,
Hoping she comes back
I want to keep her close, close to me
Close to my heart, where she should be

I worry about regrets, the pains she feels
I can't see her sorrows, they hurt me too
This world, closing in on us, on this
The relationship that is wrong, yet right

Why must I feel this way about her
Why does this world taunt me so
This world, swallowing me into it's heart
I know, that if I give up, I've lost

So I reach out for her
Hoping for her to stay
To stay near to me, next to me
To know that she loves me too
Just as much as I, as much as I love her
