But You

I've had everything but you
From fast cars to women and drugs, too,
And still don't want anything but you,
But you won't even let me tell you I love you.

Things have gotten so different so fast.
When was the last time I hugged you?
That's a scary question for me to ask
When you're the one that it comes to
Because for literally years now
This is the only wish I've wanted to come true

We both know this situation
Is one I've had to adjust to.
To go from seeing you everyday
To maybe twice in a month's new,
But I have fallen apart before,
And you've been there when I've unglued

But now it differs from day to day,
And I feel as if I'll just interrupt you.
Still no different way to say
I don't want anything but you.
I'm quick to give up on a lost cause
When it comes to anything but you.
