Different Eyes

All that I had is gone, and all of my efforts a waste,
When I look around me, there is no more of a familiar place,
without the ringing music of your voice,
I'm so scared, but I don't know if I have a choice,
I just ask for you to turn around and look at me,
and tell me now, what do you see?

I don't want to stop you from living your life,
I don't want you to know, you've cut me like a knife,
But really now, all that I want you to do,
Is just tell me, what do I mean to you?

Don't play games, don't lie,
I know that was a painful goodbye,
But, I still see a gloomy familiar look in your eyes,
I know you may not know it now, but you'll soon realise,
I don't know what it is, I dont think even know,
But whatever it is, talk to me, let it show,

I wont judge you any less,
All i want is for you to do your best,
There is nothing wrong with a guy having a heart,
I know its like the macho thing to not fall apart,
But still I say, to ignore that you do feel,
Doesn't make it any less real,
So please try to understand what I'm trying to say,
Don't bottle up all that you feel, let it convey,
All I'm saying is that if there's no-one you can talk to,
Well, theres always me, I'll always be there for you,
I wont think any worse, in fact I'd think more,
I know its not easy when it's yourself that your at war,
Its like a thing you dont do, 
To show everyone the "real you"
But dont you realise,
Everybody will love the guy you disguise...

If they leave you, then they're not real friends,
No matter, I'll stand by you till the end,
I'll care and I''l love you undyingly,
and I'll express my feelings undeniably,
Even if you think this is experience is new,
I'll be there to guide you right through =]

So look at you now, I know you're not content with who you are,
But theres still time and you can go far,
If this is who you can be, then why not try?
Please don't give up now, don't say goodbye...

I care about you and love you in every way,
Even if you change, I'll still love you everyday,
Just let me in, and I know I'll never leave your side,
I'll hold your hand, so you'll never have to hide,
If it makes you feel better, I'll be there to hold you near,
If ever you are in doubt or ever in fear,
But if ever you were afraid, 
I'd be there to give you courage to be brave =]

These are just a few of the things I'd do,
Simply because I'm in love with you!
