Like the moon 'round the earth
is what you and I should be
No matter where one travels,
the other can always be seen

As one drifts through space
in the seeming unknown
the other is there always
always, they're never alone

Like two eagles on the wing
is what you and I should be
Building with one another
a relationship unseen

On the outside seeming
strong, independent and free
on the inside certain
of our bond, undoubtedly

Like two leaves on the wind
is what you and I should be
Drifting as one downward
toward death, eventually

Riding the air currents and
tasting the joy of life
Enjoying every moment
of ever-precious life

Like the moon 'round the earth
is what you and I should be
No matter where one travels,
the other can always be seen

As one drifts through space
in the seeming unknown
the other is there always
always, they're never alone

You are a conundrum
A mystery to me
And it’s impossible to tell
How you feel for me

One minute you’re there
Ready to be my friend
The next you disappear
And our friendship ends

I fabricate belief
I force myself to see
That you really do care
And won’t abandon me

But I can’t keep this up
I am losing it bad
I need to move on now
And forget what we had

You need to decide now
If you want in or out
Your seeming indecision
Has filled me with doubts

But you’re inconclusive
And don’t make a **** move
So I’m forced to leave this
Myself, I must remove

I try my best to hide it
and act like nothing is amiss
but it gets harder every day
that I must go without a kiss

I feel disconnected
Disconjointed
all alone
When I'm with our friends
and you're not there
My heart's at home

My heart is where your heart is
My home is where you live
My dreams are where your dreams lie
and the hope that each one gives

It's all superficial
you don't really care
You can't seem to trust me
and you never share
the things that matter most
the things I need to know
I have to find out from others
what I should have heard from you

I want you in my life
and I'd love to be your friend
but I need honesty and trust
or this will have to end
I'm done with all this faking
and now is the time to choose
either fess up and make this work
or you are going to lose

I've been there for you
but I need for you to see
that I can't put up with this
and you're going to lose me

I’m losing hope in this relationship
‘Cause the commitment isn’t there
I thought we had something worth fighting for
But you don’t seem to share
The way I feel
It wasn’t real
For you
I thought this was real
Now I cannot deal
With you

   How many times should I fall for it?
   The way you make me believe
   How many times should I forgive you
   For doing the same **** thing?
   How many times should I accept excuses
   For not following through?
   How many times should I fall for it
   Before I let go of you?

I’m losing faith in all your promises
‘Cause they turn into mist
I let myself believe this time’s different
I can’t believe I fell for this
One more time
It’s all a lie
And you
Say one more time
But it’s a lie
I’m through

   How many times should I fall for it?
   The way you make me believe
   How many times should I forgive you
   For doing the same **** thing?
   How many times should I accept excuses
   For not following through?
   How many times should I fall for it
   Before I let go of you?

You’re leaving pretty soon and there’s nothing I can do
The events of this life are what are putting me through
The heartache I’ll feel and the utter sorrow
So don’t go away ‘cause you’re a hard act to follow

Our relationship is new and I’m always surprised
At the way we’ve grown so close and I cannot deny
If I see you today I’ll miss you tomorrow
So don’t go away ‘cause you’re a hard act to follow

So when the day comes that you have to drive away
I’ll be waiting where you left me, waiting for the day
That you finally return, and take away my sorrow
And you won’t go away ‘cause you’re a hard act to follow

Will you be there for me when the skies fade to grey?

Will you be there for me when my dreams are dashed away?

Will you be there for me when it seems my life has passed?

Will you be there for me when I think I’m on my last?

Will you be there for me when despair is all I see?

I’ll be there for you; will you be there for me?
