If You Still Want Me

I try to escape

I listen and I wait so forlornly

I try to escape,

but this feeling has got me

I'll see this through

Who's gonna stop me

I still wanna be with you

If you still want me

Waiting for you to see the truth is so exhausting

I wanna wake up to you every morning

Tip toe my way to work,

and hope that you saw me

We let it go before,

and for that I'm so sorry

I can't take the anticipation of you calling

This still hurts

An ending without warning

I still wanna be with you

If you still want me

    So emotional and gorgeously resonant with the way you describe love and yearning for another person.
