Tell me you love me, don't make me have to guess
Don't play this vicious game I've played with all the rest
I claim to love you more with each and every day
Loving you is part of me and I am not afraid to say.

I don't ask for much, other than your hand
A spot next to you where I can comfortably stand
I don't need a fancy home or expensive car to drive
Just a place in your heart where love is magnified.

Don't you understand this silence brings me down
As I hide behind a smile to replace this weary frown
My heart aches, ripped apart and shattered
Don't push me away, my spirit has just been battered.

Mistakenly, I took those steps thinking they had meaning
Pretending with temptation, this soul would begin feeling
I can't bare to look at you with the way you carry on
Your single life and freedom with each waking dawn.

Too many times, I have found you miles away
You found your friend in alcohol and you have lost your way
I have tried to bring you back to the man you once were
The man who made my heart beat and my emotions stir.

There are too many reasons I don't care to please
Because too often, you have found your way to tease
The many different women that came into sight
Too many different women in any single night.

Was it too much to ask, as I would lie awake and cry
Tears streaming down my face as I tried to wipe them dry
Was it really all that hard to wrap me in your arms
Hold me tight and kiss me and keep me from all harm.

Shall I give up completely and stop this heartfelt plight
Let you run from me and flee with all your might
Or, do I hold onto something I believe could be true
Something that I saw many years ago, between me and you.
