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.
