I do..

You know I want to be there,
I tried to be there for you..
But sometimes I feel,
That I'd have to split myself in two..

To make you happy so that you can trust me,
So then maybe you can believe,
Sometimes honesty.. is a parable,
You have to live it to perceive ,


And then again..I'd need you to know
I'd never make promises
that I can't keep.
I don't want to hurt you..
But it seems that's all I ever do..

You know it really doesn't have
To be this hard..
A compromise, on both our parts..
Is sometimes all it takes..

I don't want to lose you.
But it seems we're always
dancing around in circles
Never really going anywhere,
and you always seem to think
That I don't care..
But I do...

Sometimes our obligations, can get in the way,
and you might think,
that I've just walked away,
But I'm still here,
I'm as close as I've ever been..
I wish you could see that and trust in it,
And have a little faith


Don't let it make you turn and walk away..
Because anything that's worth having,
Is worth waiting for.
Is all I'm really trying to say..

I know it's not easy,
This isn't an easy thing to do..
And if you want this Like you say you do..
You have to believe and have faith in us,
Do you..
