Speechless

For the years I've been alone,

I've found solace in the cold;

it reminds me I'm alive in this world of hate filled souls.

For the years I've been awake,

I've tried hard not to break;

shattered from my past,

a billion shards of jagged glass.

And the time I've spent with you,

oh its feels it can't be true..

I'm bleeding out,

I'm bleeding within,

tell me how we should begin.

Give me your smile, give me your grace!

I'll be the ground you walk on if you just look my way.

Don't fade into the distance,

these tears I cry are true..

don't look the other way when I say I feel for you!

My hand is stretching outward,

reaching for your grasp.

Will you pull me under?

And the time I've spent with you,

I feel it can't be true!

For the years I've been awake,

eyes open to the day..

And in time I've felt alive,

but only by your side.

Oh...

I've tried hard not to break.

I'm bleeding within,

I'm bleeding out!

Can you hear my pleas?

Do you listen to my shouts?

Oh..oh...

Wont you grace me with your smile?

Wont you let me hold your hand?

I'm asking oh so nicely,

I'm begging for the chance!

Don't fade into the distance,

just let me hold your hand!

My hand is stretching outward,

reaching for your grasp.

I'm reaching for your grasp!

I'm begging pull me under..

Give me this chance.

Oh...

Listen to my shouts,

my pleas...

I plead with you.

Can't you tell its real,

the way I feel for you...
