Sitting Here Trying Not To Cry

Sitting here trying not to cry

Seems like hours before one minute passes by

Waiting for a person that’s never going to show

And you love them so much, but they don’t even know

To them, you’re just one more person in life they happened to meet

But to you, they’re the 1 thing that might make you complete

You could be happy for days from just one word

Even though you know damn well that’s absurd

When you hear the sound of their voice, you lose your breath

Losing them would be like an instant death

When you don’t talk to them for awhile

All you want to do is find their number and dial

But when the time comes you’re hands just won’t work

And you realize that’s so berserk

Is that what love is?

Those feelings that can’t be dismissed

No matter how hard you try

Not a moment passes by

Where they don’t cross your mind

Time, you wish you could rewind

Just to hear those 3 simple words

That to you, mean everything in the world “I love you”

But she just has no clue

There’s always something you wish you hadn’t said

Things you wish she would just forget

But all you can do is apologize

And pray that some day she’ll realize

How much you care

That you’ll always be there

When you feel like you've known somebody your whole life

It’s hard to understand how things changes over night

And in the back of your mind you always hope and pray

That things will go back to the way they were some day

But for now there’s absolutely nothing you can do

To change the way I feel about you
