Is it okay to be afraid and wonder why,
It's getting hard to stay away as the days go by
Yeah, I know you care for me, but I'm scarred by my past,
It's difficult to see, to believe that this could last
YET I KNOW!... that you'll be there when I need you,
AND I HOPE!... I can be there when you do.
You're like a handful of sand running through my fingers.
I try so hard to forget, but the pain still lingers.
Take what you want from me as long as we're together,
But I can't promise you that it'll last forever.
YET I KNOW!... that you'll be there when I need you,
AND I HOPE!... I can be there when you do.
Look at me now and what I've grown to be. (I've grown to be)
I still can't escape the shame I've felt. (shame I've felt)
When I look behind me I see nothing but defeat, (nothing but defeat)
And I can't help it if I blame myself. (I blame myself)
I know you're what I want, but I refuse to need you.
Please don't ask of me, I hand you nothing but the truth.
It's all I have left and it's all I know is right,
But I can only love you for tonight.
YET I KNOW!... that you'll be there when I need you,
AND I HOPE!... I can be there when you do.
Look at me now and what I've grown to be. (I've grown to be)
I still can't escape the shame I've felt. (shame I've felt)
When I look behind me I see nothing but defeat, (nothing but defeat)
And I can't help it if I blame myself. (I blame myself)
