Out of Reach

I don't want you to stay out of obligation

I have my own strength to carry on

I don't need your pity

I have my own sorrow

I don't want your kindness

I have my own love

I don't need your companionship

I have my own friends

I don't want you to say you are sorry

I have my own regret

I don't need your touch

I have my own hands

I don't want you to walk away

I have my own path to take

I don't need your comfort

I have my own solitude

I want you to be like you were before

I want a second chance to settle the score

I want a partner, not just another lover

I want you to accept me and never waiver

I want a life with you, equal and committed

What I want is out of reach, out of my command

Something More

I stand here bleeding, needing something more

Not understanding why all of this gore

I long for your touch to warm me to the core

I should not have let you in my door

I wish you felt the same as you did before

If I could do it all again, I would have held back

I don't understand what it is that I lack

My life I shall live in black

Soon I will be back on track

My heart only has a crack

Walk away if you must

Love is often confused with lust

Go ahead and leave me in the dust

Being with you wasn't a total bust

I felt your warmth, and it was just

Don't Say

Don't say you love me when you really don't care

Don't say you need me when you just want to share

Don't say you won't leave me when you are walking out the door

Don't say you have given it your all when I ask for something more

Don't say you miss me when you are all alone

Don't say you need time when you have already grown

Don't say you are for real when you look in my eyes

Don't say this feeling won't end when everything dies

When Sorry Isn't Enough

I want to say "I am sorry"

But it just won't do

I want to say "don't feel bad"

But you probably already do

I want to say "I loved you"

But it just isn't true

I didn't want to hurt you

But I didn't know what else to do

I hope you will forgive me

But that is a lot to ask, even of you

I Wish I Could

I wish I could take away your pain

I wish I could stop the rain

I wish I could let you go

I wish I could let these tears flow

I wish I could make you smile

I wish I could make this last a while

I wish I could show you how much I care

I wish I could make all of this fair

I wish I could show you love

I wish I could give you all that is above

I wish I could catch you as you fall

I wish I could give you my all
