Here I Am

I never thought i'd see the day

when you would up and walk away from me. but now

it hits me just like a slap to the face.

i draw a blank, with nothing i can say to make you stay.

i'm trying hard to understand.

if you want me, here i am.

this is just as hard as i thought that it would be.

i thought this would last forever.

as you speak i can see the truth in your eyes.

until now, i never realized that you were untrue.

and to think that all this time i was ashamed,

i thought that i should take the blame for everything.

i'm trying hard to understand. if you want me, here i am.

this is not as hard as i thought that it would be

once i looked around to see what was left.

but to no avail, i found that it was gone.

i know nothing lasts forever

it took this long to understand

that you don't want me as i am.

i could never change enough to make you mine,

but if you want me here i am.

Want me? Here I am.
