Love For You
I heard your words, heard the pain
I saw you as you stood in the rain
You needed time to yourself
Put 'us' on a shelf
But my love for you didn't die
Even though you made me cry
I cry because you're worth the tears
Cause you're the one to ease my fears
But you said you need time alone
I could hear the hurt in your tone
So I stepped back to let you be
Now there is no more you and me
But please know you still have my heart
I'm yours, each and every part
My feelings for you are still true
Now I'll show them in what I do
I try to show love when I don't speak
Even if silence makes me weak
I'll stay clear if it's what you need
I'll let you live as I bleed
I'd give anything to bring you joy
Even if myself I must destroy
Just know you're I'm still near
Please just don't feed my fear
