Can this be real, you care what I feel
you reach into my shadows, all that I conceal
Can this be true, all I want to know is you
run my fingers through your pain to feel the way you
do

And it’s more than this lonely child can bear
to chalk a line between us while you’re standing
there
Awakening a part of me I didn’t know was there

And if I can’t have you I want to be deep and blue
to dive beneath the waves and drown these dreams of
you
But it’s just one more thing, another link to you
it draws me like the tide draws the sand

Can this be fair, I reach out, you’re not there
you chose a different life, something I can’t share
Can you explain why I’m happy all the same
why I hold my head up high, smile on through the rain

For though I’m holding on to what is true
and tell myself that I can’t be with you
I’m caught up in a tangled web of dreams I can’t see
through
