there for you: 8/24/06
you write me off
& then you turn around again & expect me to be there
i won’t leave you waiting
but then again, i guess you knew-- i only wish that you would care

another day that you’ve pushed me away again
but i’m always here with all your footprints on my mind

& you say
“i don’t need you”, it’s hard to read you when you think you’re beyond rhyme
& i know
no matter what it takes, i’ll always be there for you

i never thought someone could take something so wrong
still, i won’t let go of you
i understand you better than you think i do—
how can you think that no one’s there?

& though you won’t accept your own dependency
& you think i’m wrong, but i won’t walk away from you

& you say
“i don’t need you”, it’s hard to read you when you think you’re beyond rhyme
& i know
no matter what it takes, i’ll always be there for you

& though you turn & look away
& though it’s not fair
if you think i’ll do the same
i’ll prove you wrong & i’ll be there

& you say
“i don’t need you”, it’s hard to read you when you think you’re beyond rhyme
& i know
no matter what it takes, i’ll always be there

& you say
“i don’t need you”, it’s hard to read you when you think you’re beyond rhyme
& i know
no matter what it takes, i’ll always be there for you
