Every time I see your face
I see the pain in your eyes
Somehow it just pulls me right in
I feel you in me
I wanna be a part of you
The question is just how do I begin?
Seems we're so misguided
conflicted, undecided
I know these days seem black, but I can't do all the work for you
Just hold your head up high and be a man
I'm not turning back, but I'm not giving up on you
I'll wait for you till you come take my hand
I wanna take all your tears
and cry them for you
to maybe see you smile once again
Fill me with your fears
Replace this emptiness inside
and let me be the one that you call 'friend'
Don't wanna give up tryin'
You broke it, are you buyin'?
Maybe if I feel your pain for you
I can just deny my own
Is that what you want me to do?
Am I not allowed to heal?
To express just what I feel?
Or do I have to be just like you?
I know something's hurting you
But I am not deserting you
I know these days seem black, but I can't do all the work for you
Just stand up tall and face it like a man
I'm not turning back, but I'm not giving up on you
I'll wait for you to come and take my hand
Why do you push me away,
Twist everything that I say,
Try to tell me I'm the one who is resisting?
I know right now we're far apart
but you're deep within my heart
maybe just the piece that's been missing
Don't let time and distance
Constrain your heart's existence
I know these days seem black, but I can't do all the work for you
Just hold your head up high and make a plan
I'm not turning back, but I'm not giving up on you
I'm waiting until you come to take my hand
