Why Do You Make Me Feel Like This?

I�m trying to act like I�m fine
But inside I�m not okay
I guess you�ve just got enough of me
To make me die inside

But your smile makes it somewhat better
And your touch is completely reassuring
I know I may not always smile
But inside my heart is jumping

Sometimes I�m just so confused
That I can�t see how perfect you are
The way that you straighten everything out
And the way that everything perfectly falls into place

You�re kinda like my lighthouse
Pointing me through the darkness
Leading me to safety
Or to your safe arms

I want to run away with you
And always be happy
I want to hold your hand forever
And never leave us behind

Silently I press my lips to yours
I run my fingers through your hair
I tell you that I love you
And immediately you say it back

I confuse myself with the world around me
To only see that you�ve always been right
I tell myself you are �the one�
And everyday I find it more true

I see the faces of others around me
The faces of those who have never cared
Then finally I look to your face
And see that you�re the only one who has always been here

Your eyes seem to put me a trance
Your touch sends chills through my body
And the adolescent look you always throw my way
Makes me want to be a child again

Your hands are gentle
Yet firm when you protect
Your laugh is subtle
Only joyous when you have so much zeal

The passion you create
When you tell me that you love me
Makes me want to never leave you
Or never let that moment pass away

I can�t picture my world without you
And I can�t see past your face
You�re in my thoughts and in my mind
Every waking moment of the day

I love to see you smile
And feel how warm it makes me
I love to be in your presence
And know that�s where you always are

Your dreamy eyes make the world stop cold
Everything matters
Nothing matters
I�m lost in this moment

Every moment I spend with you
I cherish with all my heart
I lose my heartbeat
And I forget how to breathe

I will never let you go
I can�t bear to see you leave me
And the smile that�s on my face
Is only here because of you

My heart is no longer broken
Because of your influence on my life
And still you�re here beside me
Let�s see what we become

I know you�ll never hurt me
And you can�t stand to see me cry
I don�t want you to see my tears
Just don�t leave and I�ll be okay

You�ve never left my side
You stay right next to me
You make my life worth living
You make me complete

I�ll keep my heart right here for you
And keep a smile on my face
I want you to stay here forever
And I�ll stay but not without you

As the one I love and my best friend
You own my heart
You keep me safe
And I�ll never leave you
