Hurting someone I love
is like cutting out my own heart
I hear your pain and know
i've torn your world apart..
I want to reach out
and staunch the flow,
but I am the wound
no longer friend, now i am foe.
I want to stop your pain
but i'm afraid to give false hope
so i hold back and feel cruel,
worried 'bout how you will cope.
I act far removed,
like i've turned away,
you just dont see me look back,
to make sure that you're okay.
