Every single smile we share. You fool me into thinking you care.
I think I know you. You know me too.
So why do I keep doubting us? Why does my heart keep stumbling over trust?
Your eyes shine. As they search through mine.
Your words come from deep inside. You can't keep them in even when you have tried.
Every touch makes me question my heart. Do you know how you split me apart?
I have tried for months to fake it. I'm not sure how much longer I can take this.
I want our friendship to hang on. I want for us to be strong.
I'm not sure what to do. Because I can't stop being near you.
You are uncomfortably safe. And I'm not scared to be in your space.
You are dangerously secure. Your warmth draws me in like a lure.
We share so many secrets. I never want there to be any regrets.
You say you don't make promises. But I'm begging you to promise this.
I'm not sure what we might be.
Just promise you won't stop being friends with me?

all day long I feel your distance
fooling ourselves into thinking we're fine
stressed but hiding behind small smiles
keep the tv on keep the conversation flowing
don't let anyone know how you really feel
all day long I felt your distance
only at night do we share our truths
the distance closes and words spill out
you understand why I have to reveal it
I understand why you share your worries
everything's different after dark
through the distance I reach out to grab you
you return with a listening heart
when I feel crazy you help me feel calmer
thanks for letting me trust you with my feelings
all day long I felt your distance
but tonight we speak as close as ever

your eyes show the pain
I can feel your hurt
share your sorrows
I'll share mine too
the hurt in your heart is big
every time you speak of it
your body gets smaller
your head hangs low and you need a hug
let me be there and help you heal

My fingers are starting to twitch
My heart starts to race
I need a comforter
Something must fill this space

I reach for my arm
I know it will get hurt
Rubbing my skin between my fingers
Better stop before it gets worse

I'm begging for your sleeve
The fabric will calm me
It rubs together just right
That is the key

I guess it's not just the fabric
It might be also be you
The warmth of your skin
Calm my mind and heart too

Lean closer now
Let me do what I do
Smile when I reach out
I'm a comfort to you too
