The pain of loving someone.
You smiled and I lost it,
Right then and there.
And now, after all this time,
I still can't believe you're the one.

All I want,
All I need,
All I've ever require,
Is right there in that smile.
That same smile I'd give anything to see right now.

When did we stop being us?
When did I stop being your rock,
The one you leaned on,
The one you came to?
And how do we get back to that?

How do we survive this storm?
Can we weather the winds and rain?
Will this live to see the sunshine?
How can I make you see what I see.
What I believe,
What I know in my heart.

No matter what,
I still love you,
I always will.
But for each piece of you that falls,
A piece of me falls with it.

I stand here and watch as the gales blow,
Watch as you're thrown to and fro,
And I know if I could just get to you,
We'd be okay.
But you're moving away,
And the force is becoming too strong.
I try and I only seem to fail.

Do I let the hurricane take hold,
Let it blow us apart,
Let it blow us both to pieces,
Or do I fight with all I am?

Can you meet me in the middle?
Can you even find it in yourself to try?
Or do we let these tattered pieces make the whole?
Let this hole that's formed consume us both?

Is love really all there is?
Is it really enough?
