When I first saw your smile,
I know there was nothing to hide,
When I saw the gleam in your eye,
I knew you needed me,
Because I saw through you,
And I saw hunger

I offer companionship,
You received it lovingly
I offer hope
You received it humbly

Now I offer love,
You kept it,

But you forgot that there was such a thing you hold,
You seek, you take in a deep breath, and look
Your eyes searching far,
I wanted to hold your hand
To say you'll eventually find it,
Even though I wanted you
To read my mind and see there
That what you're looking for is at the palm of your hand

When I see you there,
In a little corner by the drift of tear,
I want to hold you,
Get you out of there,
Say it's alright and safe

I think of you,
I hope I cross your mind
Even though I know
That you never saw me,
Even in your dreams

I want to hold you,
But I want you to hold my head too,
When I cry,
When I feel helpless,
When I feel lost,
When I am feeling nothing.

I want you to be there,
To hold me,
To care for me,
To love me,

Because I feel so lonely,
I feel so weak.
What I had to give,
You took them all.
