There you lay
On your side of the bed
In agony every second
It kills me inside
I wake up to your moans
Yet I'm helpless
Helpless to help you
So I just lay there
Pretending to be sound asleep
But really I'm awake
On the verge of tears
I wish there was something I could do
Anything to ease your pain
You tell me to try something
But my outstanding fear of failure
It keeps me from trying anything at all
Instead I cry
I cry for you and your hurt
I cry for my powerless efforts
I cry because I love you
And you love me
And sometimes maybe that's all we need...
