To Be With You

I should have held on tighter
When I had you in my grasp
For now I’m just a distant fading 
Memory in your past

My smile can hide the sadness
My tears are wiped away
But all this pain I feel inside
I live with day by day 

The pathway to my heart
Is just a worn and beaten track
But till I have you by my side 
I’ll just keep running back

You left me with a memory
That no one else can steal
But left me with a heartache
No one else can ever heal

What lies in my future now
What am I to do
How can I be happy
When in life I don’t have you

My heart just aches completely
Every hour every day
It’s only when I’m with you
That this pain will go away

I know I have to let you go
Instead of holding on
For you were never mine
To me, you never did belong

Bottled up inside me 
Are the words I've never said
Feelings that I've never shown
Lines you never read 

I want to live my life with you
Tomorrow and today
For better and for worse
Beside you all the way

To be there when you need me
Until this world is through
And when our time is over
I will spend the end with you

To be with you, just one more time
To feel your world collide with mine
Through every loss, through all I’ve been
I’d lose it all to love again...
