People walking ..in and out
I bite my tongue ..so not to shout
I did not ask ..for them to come
I didn't ask them ..to be done

Took me longer ..than it should have
I yearned harder ..than I could have
They're gone before ..I find the bleed
I would take the pain ..but it's not to be

I know I'm glad ..that I met you
But I'm so sad ..that I met you
I cannot find ..the words to say
While I do this to ..myself again

You're alone in crowds ..just like I am
I find myself ..lost in your mind
You make me laugh, you make me smile
For a change, I hope you ..stay a while
