With Your Back Turned

by Stef   Sep 8, 2004



With your back turned you can't see me cry
And can't see me fall, can't see me break.
You don't see me leaning towards goodbye
And don't know I've had almost all I can take.

With an overlooked hug and a forgotten kiss
I'm missing you so much while you're still here.
I was thinking that it wouldn't come to this
But sadly it has, and the end is something I fear.

I never thought I could want you to be angry
But that's one emotion I need you to feel.
For once, I wish you would just yell at me
So I know this person you are is actually real.

You can't just ignore me, and can't just let go
I need you to meet me at least halfway.
I wish there was some way to let you know
All of the things I just can't bring myself to say.

"I love you" is really important for me to hear
But only if it's true, because I don't need a lie.
You have no idea, but that's the problem, I fear
With your back turned you'll never see me cry.
