Still The One


You scream at me, I try to do better.

You yell at me, I say I'm trying.

It's never enough is it?

No matter what I say, no matter what I do,

It never pleases you.

 

Why am I still here? Why haven't I left?

Is something wrong with me?

Am I so blind

That I can't see that you

Don't want us to be?

 

What could I possibly want

So badly that I would endure your coldness?

I'll tell you.

No matter what you say, no matter what you do,

You are still the one I try to get through to.

 

You're still the one I want to think about

When there's so much left to do.

You're still the one I want to stay up all night with,

Just talking without a clue.

You're still the one that catches my breath

Everytime I see you.

 

And you're still the one I want to be with,

Even if you tell me not to.

So I keep my promise that I made to you

Despite what life puts us through.

Because I will always love you

Until that day comes when I get through to you.
