With and Without You

You said ‘Goodnight’,
And walked out of my life.
You wanted to hear me say,
To feel the way you did.

You wanted something more, 
And you walked out the door. 
Leaving me with things to say, 
All of my wants still hidden away. 

But I’ll tell you now I want to say I’m sorry,
I want to lay down and cry.
And I want you to hold me,
To tell me that everything’s alright. 

But I know that you won’t,
And right now that’s okay.
‘Cause tonight I drown my sorrows,
I drive my pain away.

And I know that this isn’t permanent,
And tonight that’s just fine.
‘Cause if I get one minute,
With you out of my mind.

Maybe I’ll forget, what you meant to me.
Finally realize, we weren’t meant to be.
If I clear my head, If I forget.
Maybe I could let go.

But then all those questions,
Would run through my mind.
Was it the right choice,
Not to chase you when you left me behind.

And don’t think I don’t regret your sad expressions, 
I regret all your tears.
I wish I could just go back,
And chase away my insecurities, all my fears. 

‘Cause I want to be with you,
To have you hold me until our deaths.
But the thought of you terrified me,
Drove me off the edge. 

And I don’t know why I couldn’t tell you,
What was going in my head.
My thoughts were chasing me in circles, 
Chasing me to my end.

And all I want is to rest on your shoulder,
To tell you all my pains.
I want you to be there to assure me,
That everything’s okay.

'Cause I don’t think I’ll survive,
I’m going out of my mind.
With and without you,
I want to be with you.

With and without you,
I’m going to cry.

With and Without you,
I’m scared at night.

With and without you,
I pray that your alright.

With and without you, 
I want to love you. 
With and without you.
