Still You

This is my world, Centered in my universe. Can I go out and play, Asked the child whose eyes were so amazed. Is grown up and about to break, And for this Im losing faith Why should I open up my heart just to find a new kind of pain. Right before I burst, It just grows from bad to worse. All of these faces I hide behind, Are to light the darker ones I have kept inside. But You... You ask me what am I running from and where I'm running to, After all these tears is mercy something I deserve from You and what I've put You through. How could someone so perfect still Love this imperfect world, And when I least expected it ....there was Still You
