In the Way

Here I be
Fighting me
Dodging right hooks
Crossing my dreams

Here you stand 
Straight right in the way
Why do you stay
I was ready to cave
I was willing to fall
Our walls were to strong


Something made us turn
Someone guided us home
Now i lie torn
So unsure of our now
So afraid of tomorrow

And yet you stand tall
You say you won't stop me from loving you
You won't blind me from seeing 
There is more beauty then you are showing


I can't push you away
Can't force you to believe i am not worth having
But you stand true right there in my way
Forgetting the hurt i have caused


Always there in the way 
This love you share with me
Will always be my way to live
