It Will Always Be Me
I so still shouldn’t feel this way for you
I still shouldn’t want you as I do
You’re still trying hard to get over her
You feel like you’re standing alone down a dead one way street with no where to turn
When someone puts their hand in the fire, expect to get burned
I know, for I have been there in your shoes
I have been left full of sorrow, pain, tossed away like yesterdays old news
But we can, and will overcome
Time to stop standing in that one spot, time to take of and run
Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s always been right in front of you
For if it was easy to see, it wouldn’t then mean so much in all we do
You need to open your eyes and see whose who
See people for whom and what they are from the inside
And for once, put your own fears aside
I stand on the side lines and watch as love has commanded you
I’ve stood there as I watch that love pass you right on by
I’ve been there waiting with and without the tears in my eyes
So maybe you don’t think I still shouldn’t feel this way for you
Maybe you think I still shouldn’t want you as I do
But when you’re down and troubled all you ever have to do is call
Even in the dead of night, it will never be a bother to listen to you at all
Look around you, look also down that long dark tunnel
Can you tell what you see?
When the smoke clears
When the light appears
Who will be standing there still waiting for you?
It will always be me
