THE ONE

THE ONE

I stand here alone, a broken chap
With tears running down my face, I use the rain to hide the flood
Look me in the eye and tell me how you feel
I’m intoxicated by our past and too distraught to see the light

You take your afflictions out on me
I don’t understand why you associate one with the other
I throw my hands to the sky and ask why
Someone please show me the way

I’ve gone on a wild goose chase looking for your cure
Conquered demons of my own and fears of yours
Do you feel me in your heart?
Can you take a breath and not pretend?

I stand here feeling naked
I look to my right and you’re not there
With tears soaking my skin, I collapse with my head in my hands
Every day I live through this, I lose hope
You have no idea how badly I want you to be the one
