If only I could find a way
to feel the way I felt with you
I knew I could do anything
because you said I always could
I guess we weren’t even friends
but I felt it all the same
You made me want to be someone
Someone worthy of your words
Someone I suppose I’m not
but for awhile I could lie
and tell myself that just maybe
I could stand beside you there
The two of us against the world
You gave me a welcome gift
and then you took it all away
and I feel the hole it made
even to this endless day
I can’t shake the cloud you left
blocking out the light you shone
For a precious moment then
all I wanted was to give
back to you what you had brought
and I guess I failed at that
or maybe you just couldn’t see
the same visions I had seen
It doesn’t matter all the same
now I try to understand
how to find those little gifts
that you seemed to throw my way
so that I may feel again
the sun shining on my back
Like I could go anywhere
and find just where that path would lead
the one I tried to guide us down
only to end up alone
