Without You

A tear escapes, I try to hide.

I look away, there’s no disguise.

You always notice, I know you see

Through the smiles I use to be

The best I can on the outside.

No matter how I try to hide,

You see right through me, day and night,

I can’t escape, you’re always right

When you say “I know you’re lying,”

I can’t help it, I start crying.

You pull me close and hold me tight,

In your arms I find that I might

Have a chance to begin again

Working hard until the time when

I manage to make wrongs right.

You pull me close and hold me tight,

And on these days I know I’ll find

You there to help soothe my mind.

Without you I will never be

The best I can, I won’t be me.

Because of you I know I can

Truly be who I really am.
