Apart

so much I want to say
so much I cannot
waiting for something to come along
finding something
then knowing I can't be there

tearing me apart
leave me alone
I want to be here
but I want to be more

you mean so much to me
so much I cannot say
I've been dying since you came along
wanting something
then knowing it won't be mine

setting me apart
I'll be alone
I know I am here
and I need to be there

I have all that I need from you
so why can't I let you be
free from all of my shortcomings
free to love the way you need

this is tearing my soul asunder
I want you to be happier than I have the power to give you
I feel helpless when it comes to you
but I want you to know I'll be here
if you come back from there
