I hide away
Not wanting your attention
You take it offensively
When it's only prevention.
You wouldn't understand
So I choose to keep away
Even though you're what gets me though
Some of the bad days
You don't know how much you mean to me
Or how nice it is to know you care
Or what a thought it is to know you'll always be there
But I can't help to wonder
If your word you'll stand by
Cause no one can wait forever
Eventually your love will die.
Trust me I know it will happen
I've seen it with the best
One minute they adore you
The next you're just like the rest
Maybe if you proved you honesty
And showed me your true self
Maybe I could believe you
And come down off my dusty shelf
See the problem is I've seen more hate then you could handle
I've heard words you'd never guess
I've been through hell and back twice around
Never once being able to get up off the ground.
Maybe once my world quits turning
And spinning left and right
Maybe once I learn to accept
I can't win with out a fight
Wait is what I ask
But if you can't I understand
For I will come out of my shell
With a little helping hand
Stand by me
Through thick and thin
Stand by me
And help me win
