Let it be still for a beat or two
If it doesn't cry out then I won't need you
Because all these years are driving me insane
And when it's night I wish I'd never dream
Behind these eyes are unshed tears
Along with locked up words
In the corner of my heart lays a name
That I've been trying my best to leave behind
But it's so hard when you're persistent
The pain grows until it becomes a nervous twitch
So scared to look you in the face
Don't want to make anymore mistakes
Or cause your heart to break
Oh, how I wish I could help it
When you're so close my breath will catch
The slightest touch will drive me overboard
I've waited for years to change
Only to come up empty handed with no fingers entwined
Heard all the songs you slapped a dedication on
It seems like all the ones to me are the worst
They make me feel like complete sh*t
It's just to bad you'll never know who I've become over time
The best thing you won't have in your arms
Which I don't get because I can tell by the way you act
That you want me as much as I want you
Are you to afraid to reach out?
Or are you in complete denial of our love
It's stronger than what you feel for him
And you know it more than ever when he kisses your lips
When he holds your hand and whispers sweet things
When you make love, it isn't him
But still you'll persist and keep me caged in your heart
Blocking me off from ever getting in
We'll try to touch each others skin with glass in between
I'll always love you until I die
And even if you don't want to, you'll feel the same
