You always keep me somewhere in between,

right where you know I'll always be when you need me.

I always fall for your safe kisses late at night

and all those times you pull me close and say

"this feels so right.”

But I fell too many times,

and I know I deserve more than being stuck in your game

of just another convenient late night friend.

I love way too many people

Who will never be able

To love me back.

This is such a blessing

Yet a terrible nightmare

Every single day.

I know you're out there,

Whoever you are,

Watching this dreary day pass

Wishing for nothing more

Than to spend it wrapped up

Securely in the arms

Of another tired soul.

I'll never stop looking for you

On these lazy rainy days,

Or wishing for anything more

Than to spend all day

Drowning in your comfort too. 

I reached my hands out for help

But every time I did

Someone came along and

Used them to lift themselves up

Leaving me weaker each time.

The day came when all the strength

Had been pulled out of me

And I couldn't even reach out

My hands to help myself anymore.

I just can't waste another minute

Pretending like there's anyone

Who will ever care enough to stay.

It's me against the world now,

And that has to be good enough.
