Please Give Me A Reason

While talking on the phone

I'm still feeling all alone

Maybe today's the day I give up



I'd love to have years

To be with you and wipe away tears

But today I seem to be stuck in a rut



You laugh out so loudly

I can hardly breathe

I don't want to speak a word in fear I'll mess up

Your beauty still dawns here

Each and every day

Please give me a reason...to never give up



I hear of the stories

Of past lives have been told

I hope you aren't still like that today



If you were calling

I'd run back to you

My thoughts seem to run back to you these days



You laugh out so loudly

I can hardly breathe

I don't want to speak a word in fear I'll mess up

Your beauty still dawns here

Each and every day

Please give me a reason...to never give up



So when you lie there sleeping

Not dreaming of me

Tell me in a soft whisper

Can we still be 'we'?



I pray to God

Each and every night

That I'll find that woman just for me



You laugh out so loudly

I can hardly breathe

I don't want to speak a word in fear I'll mess up

Your beauty still dawns here

Each and every day

Please give me a reason...to never give up



Call up my number

And I'll be right there

To stay

To stay

I'll take all your fears...and push them away

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To Laura...for some odd reason, just the sound of your voice yet again intregues me and brings me back to a time and place where you and I were together...back to a time when I fucked up. I am no longer that little boy, for I have changed and matured...and I hope it leads me to another chance with you.
