Because I Have To
I wait all the time
for the phone to ring
hoping you're the one on the line
then when it rings
it's still not you on the other end
I'm left here exhausted
because I have all these feelings for you
and all this love to send
my eyes are wide open
yet I can't see clearly enough
why can't I stop driving myself so
crazy with all this stuff
you would think after so long
of looking for you
that I would realize me having patience would be a clue
but patience was never one of my virtues
and when I saw you
I knew I had to keep pushing through
praying each moment of everyday
something will give
and you will soon come my way
waiting for the right moment
to say what I have to say
I look around and all I see is you
I close my eyes and memories of you are everywhere
I can't put my own thoughts in order
my words don't make sense and are scattered
sometimes I feel like screaming
just to have it all shatter
maybe then I could breathe again
but there's never really no end
not until I can fulfill
what my heart keeps telling me is still
the right things to do
the only things that will get me
to move through
the rest of my life
looking deep into your eyes
saying aloud
with tears falling down
I'm still i love with you
I'm going to do this
because I have to
