when tears of pain

fill your eyes

my heart barely beats

and i can hardly breathe

because all of your pain

becomes my pain

it's unbearable

all the pain you hold inside

i wish i could do something

say anything to make things easier for you

but there are no words

that can make the pain go away

i want to wrap you up

inside my arms

protect you from the pain

but you're too far away from me

tears constantly fall

because i feel so helpless

i can't even help the one i love

the one person

that means more to me

than anything else in this world

the only person i would die for

the only person that makes me complete

you've been through so much

most of the time

i feel like i'm only hurting you more

and i know that in a way i am

and i'm so sorry for that

i wish i could undo all that's been done

make things the way they used to be

unfortunately i can't

and it kills me

because i know that some of the pain

that you're in even now

is because of something i've done

recently and in the past as well

you once promised me

that you would never push me away

but lately all you've done

is just that

nothing hurts more

than having the one you love

push you away when they need you the most

i want nothing more

than to make you smile

and have your eyes be filled with happiness

instead of pain and tears

there was once a time

when that was all i did

but now it seems that

all i do is make you sad

and i swear that isn't what i want

i hate seeing you in pain

not just because i feel your pain

but because you don't deserve

to spend most of your life in pain

let me be there for you

let my shoulder catch any tears you cry

i want to take all your pain

and keep you from ever feeling it yourself

i want to be the one you need

the one that makes it all better

because i know that's what i used to be

but so many things have happened

that i fear i'm not what you need anymore

i know that the sound of my voice

used to calm and soothe you

please let me in

let me at least try to make things better

my heart has been calling out for you

for so long that it's all i hear anymore

i can only hope you need me

at least half as much as i need you

because you're everything to me

and there isn't a day that goes by

that i don't think of you

of what you're doing

or if you need me

tears are always falling for you

for the pain you feel

i remember most of the times when i cried

it was because you wouldn't or couldn't

i remember when it was just you and me

we had talked online for hours

then got on the phone and talked even longer

you called me first thing in the morning sometimes

and hearing your voice when i woke up

always brought a smile to my face

i remember the first time i told you said you loved me

i didn't believe you at first

but as the days went by

i began to believe

i fell in love with you the first time we ever talked

i didn't even know you

but there was something about you

that screamed out to me

and a few minutes after we started talking

my heart knew you were the one

and to this day it still thinks you're the one

that was close to a year ago

and through out everything that has happened

all the fights

all the threats

all the hurtful words

we're still talking

even though it's not the same anymore

so many things have changed

but one thing remains the same

i still love you just as much now

as i did then

i want nothing more

than to see that you're happy

i used to think i was the only thing

that kept you happy and sane

because that's what you told me

but now i wonder if that was true

because even now

i can't make you smile like i used to

i can't ease your pain like i used to

there are so many things

that i used to be able to do

that i can't do now

or at least it seems like i can't

i fear that so much has happened

that we can't go back to how it was

i do not want to lose you

but i am scared that i already have

i might not make things better for you anymore

but when everything is said and done

when it's all over with

you're still the only person

that makes things better for me

even if i don't show it anymore

when something bad happens

you're still the one i want to run to

we've both changed so much in so little time

i feel like i barely know you anymore

but i'm still holding on

hoping that the person you used to be

the one i fell in love with

will come back and make everything right

make things the way they used to be

the way they should be

i want to be the girl i was

and i want you to be the boy you were

the day we met

before all the bad things happened

before i messed everything up

because those days

where the best days of my life

when everything was okay

or as close to being okay as they could get
