I still lie awake at night
waiting for you to show
hoping that you've changed your mind
and decided not to go

I hide my pain from public view
behind a familiar mask
lest someone spot the real me
and take my soul to task

I know that you are hurting too
as I read the words you write
and I wish that things were different
as I lie awake at night

So for now I'll keep on waiting
and hoping that you'll show
From the moment I first held you
I never wanted to let go
