How can I believe
you’ll never leave
if I’ve seen everyone
always on the run?
Those I call friends
left me here to fend
for myself all alone
to settle for my own.
The pain stalks me,
won’t let me be free;
it’s the only company
that stays with me.
I wish I only knew
if I could trust you,
if you could save me,
if only you forgave me.
I hope I’m not too far
from outstretched arms
and that I’m not past
your love that’s so vast.
Then I hear you say
you were here everyday
and you won’t go away,
that forever you’ll stay.
