There’s a mortal in the room.
He’s hard to keep away from.
I’m almost afraid to get near him,
for my thoughts he doesn’t know.
If I were to express myself,
he'd probably get up and go.
This mortal makes me feel all shaky inside,
Like a tiny tremor following the earthquake,
I wish in this moment that this mortal would awake.

There’s a mortal in the room,
a sight that makes me quite uneasy.
This isn’t right; he can’t see how
uncomfortable he’s made me
With his trophy on his arm.
I truly wish her no harm,
but if it’s him she walks away from,
I will be the next one on his arm.

There’s a mortal in the room,
catching vibes from the ladies all around.
Don’t they know he’s mine?
At least that’s what I tell myself,
like he’s some property.
But if he was he could live in
my heart forever rent-free.

There’s a Mortal in the room
Seems like I cant escape him.
He’s always here near me,
even at the biggest celebrations.
I shouldn’t even care,
he belongs here too.
For now’s the time life’s changing
into something new.
But still, I always wonder,
is this mortal thinking of me.

This mortal still is present in my
life almost everyday.
Does he know I still see him
as the mortal in the room ?
I still can’t tell this mortal how I feel
for it may cause a certain doom.
Everyday life changes but
one thing doesn’t change.
It’s the fact that I imagine
what if I had his last name?
That will never be the case though,
it's not in woven in the dream catchers loom.

But one thing that hasn’t left is
the mortal in the room.
I see him from time to time now,
he’s often a random show.
But something still kills me,
how did he never know?
This mortal in the room is
like an extension to my mind .
I still get stuck thinking
why did he leave me behind?
There's a mortal in the room

There's a mortal in the room
I’m so glad the feelings were never
know about from way back then.
If things went a different way
magine how that would have been.
There’s a reason to this
sudden awakening,
and how this new
friendship had its start.
We were always friendly
to each other,
but never fully connected at the heart.

But this magnetic pull inside our souls,
It’s what changed in us the most.
For this mortal never knew
just what he meant to me,
Only because I never wore
my heart upon my sleeve.
I look back at that mortal in the room,
The one I was afraid to get near.

Me knowing more of his heart now,
Things have become oh so clear.
This mortal shares space
inside my head,
For he’s always had a
place in my heart.
I’m happy I get to say now,
From this mortal,
my special love
I feel for him will never depart.
There’s a mortal in the room,
He’s hard to keep away from…

There's a mortal in the room
There’s been alot of space in time
as time has been only but a thief.
The memories keep incircling my head like a flowered wreath.
Suddenly life changed in
the blink of an eye.
I still beat my self up because
I never had him  as “my guy”.
I get excited at every mention of
this mortals familiar name.
But what ****** was the feelings
he had just never were the same.

The only thing that changed now
is there is no lady on his arm.
For this mortal in the room
is like a golden charm.
This mortal in the room
lit inside me a internal flame.
The flame was hidden,
so on the outside
I appeared exactly the same.

Keeping all of these things inside
never made things very clear.
I somehow knew there was an attraction from
him any time that I was near.
But was that all I was to him now,
just an attraction that couldn’t be?
I’ve always been drawn to this mortal  
for my feeling run so free.

It’s crazy how an glance from this
mortal or even a sweet stare.
It’s like a magnetic pull to this mortal
from in somewhere in the air.
I learned things about this mortal I never ever knew of.
I felt a new feeling for this mortal,
this was a different type of love.
From this mortal in the room.

What do you see when you look my way?
Do you see me, or do you see something else?
Do you see all the imperfections I possess?
These imperfections make me feel less.
Like the shell of a girl in a picture frame.
Do you see what I see in the mirror looking back at me?
A body, all deformed but shapely; this body has had two beautiful babies.
What do you see when you look at my face?
Do you see the unevenness of my eyebrows and the squint in my left eye?
Maybe there are enough glasses for it to hide behind.
Do you see the freckles splattered on my face?
The sun hasn't been gentle on this aging face.
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see my darkened eyes, so deep and dark that the colors almost don't shine?
Do you see this hair? It's starting to thin with little strands of gray.
What do you see when you look at this aging woman who is almost forty years old?
Maybe…me?

You would think I’d learn my lesson on how I make you feel..
You would think I’d give you the space you need
You would  think id take this real.
You would think I’d hear you the first time
When you said I would never be replaced.
But as it appears right now
I think I am such a disgrace.
You would think I’d think more about how what I say makes you feel.
Obviously, I’m not very smart.
I don't seem to pick up on hints; it's not one of my strengths.
But it seems I am now someone you might soon forget.
I can’t believe I’ve made you back away from me
I feel the space between us is too hard to bare
I feel like im losing my best friend
And it’s all my fault, but its not fair.
I apologize for all my aggravating  obsessive charades.
I truly always wish you the best in everything you do.
I never wish you any harm
How could I stand to see my best friend be so numb.
The thought of you alone really makes me sick
I wish I wasn’t such a nuisance, and you would let me back in
Please don’t block me out. Please let me be your friend.
I promise to be there for you, as I said before.
I pray to God above for what is troubling you,
whether it’s me or something else.
I pray for the smothering feeling to be soon released.
Please don’t close the door on us;
I promise I'll let you breathe. I just need you to answer and tell me to stop.
I need you to set some boundaries for me not to cross.
I'm comfortable with you. That's why I talk so much.
But I hate feeling like im nagging and hanging on you like your my crutch
Please don’t give up on me.

Between the world and me,
a fateful friend,
a flowing fountain.
Between the world and me,
a picture in a frame,
a field of wildflowers.
Between the world and me,
a night that keeps the stars
and hangs the moon.
Between the world and me,
a compass to a map,
a ray of sunshine.
Between the world and me,
a book with a bookmark
marking my spot,
a happy ending to a story.
Between the world and me,
you are a lamp guiding me
into my dreams,
a song without words,
written in stone.
All the wonderful things
between the world and me.

Cover me in blankets
Cover me in warmth
Cover me from heartache
Cover me from storms
Cover me when I'm frightened
Cover me when I'm alone
Cover me with sweetness
Cover me with joy
Cover me with justice
Cover me with peace
Cover me with protection
Cover me while I sleep
Will you cover me always?
Cover me with your amazing grace
I know you will cover me
You don't see me as a disgrace
You cover me because I am yours
You gave your life for me
You cover me every day when you're watching over me
My comfort and my fortune
My eternal friend
You've covered me from the beginning
And you'll cover me till the end
