Running from the truth

I know that I shouldn\'t want it
I know we\'ve been here time and time again...
It seems like I\'m just running in circles
Never really getting anywhere
Always just ending in despair

Through it all a few things remain
A few things will never change
Sometimes you can\'t run from how you feel
Sometimes you\'re afraid of it
But in the end you have to admit it
It\'s my confession

I want to be with you more than anything
I want to hold you close
I want to be the one, the only
I\'ve always wanted you to be there
Through the worst pain and the greatest joy
I\'ve wanted you there
Wanted you by my side

We try to move on
We try so hard
We put on a smile and continue walking
We hug, kiss, laugh with another
Sometimes it\'s ok
Sometimes it helps fill the void
But when it comes down to it, it\'s an act
We convince ourselves we\'re happy
It\'s better this way
It\'s easier
But when it comes down to it
...the truth unfolds before our eyes
It\'s as real now as ever
