lyrics

you're the closest thing i have to call home
but you'll never know
'cause i'm afraid that loving you
will pull me too far from my comfort zone

you're the nearest that i've come to true love
but i'll never say
'cause i'm afraid that loving you
will only end up hurting me

even if i could find the words
what good would it be?
you're so caught up in your ideals
that you'll never see me

i'm standing right here, in front of your eyes
where i've been the whole time
i'm standing right here, holding my heart
hoping that i haven't come this far for you
just to be sent away, because you're afraid, too

if you felt even the smallest of things
would you ever tell?
'cause i would risk all that i have
if it meant i'd have you instead

even if you were mine to hold
why would you want me?
you're so swept up in your own thoughts
that you can't see what we could be

chorus

to say it won't happen
to tell me it could never work
but how can you know if you don't try it first?

chorus
'cause i don't have anywhere to go
& i don't want anyone but you
so please don't send me away because you're afraid
