The Real Me

Rain hits the pavement
Streams down my window pane
I close my eyes and listen
And think of you in vain

I stare out at the street
Bewitched by the beauty of the night
Knowing if only you were here
Everything would seem so right

My cheeks are stained with salty tears
From the loneliness I feel
And the scars so deep inside
That only you can heal

The street lamp on the corner
Shining so dim yet bright
Like a symbol of my love for you
Burning through the night

I pull away from my window
And settle back in bed
Shadows cast on my walls
Dreams of you in my head

I want to tell you I love you
I want to be with you for all of time
And Id do anything at all
Just to make you mine

I stare up at the ceiling
With nothing else to do
But lay alone here in the dark
Thinking of only you

I love you more then life
Something I never thought Id say
But I can imagine myself
Being with you for the rest of my days

You brighten up my life
Chase my fears away
And as I lay here alone
I just want to say

I just hope you know
You mean the world to me
You saw me when I was invisible
Fell in love with the real me
