And you know what I know Why would you think to do this to me A reason so simple You could never dream the answer If we're so different from ourselves Could I have seen this inner you And touched its face for ever a brief moment And standing back, now so detached from you I realize why you didn't want me there I would have killed if just this one time Time was on our side And even when we walk away You would have cared that I tried And I had so much left to tell you So many pieces left to place But now the puzzle fell apart To just the shadow of your face I would have killed for the last chance Would have bled a thousand miles Through the thorns that line the path Just to kneel beside you as you were collapsing And holding both hands I could say I was still there It's killing me But I'm still here
