I am Standing

Here I am standing, alone
In a place I've come to know so well
I wish I could scream out for you
But you'd keep walking right on by

Here I am standing, willing
To sacrifice everything I have and
Everything that I am
But you haven't got the slightest clue

Here I am standing in your shadow
Following after your every step
I won't let you wander far this time
Because you're all I have left

Here I am standing, scared
And cold just inches from your
Fast embrace, can't you step a little closer
Hold me just one more time

Here I am standing, amazed
That all I had to give was thrown
I was ready to give and know that
It wouldn't be returned.

Here I am standing, confused
As to why or how could you smile now?
Everything I gave you is forgotten
Everything I meant to you lost

Here I am standing faced with this regret,
Could I have done something more,
To make you stay here with your hand in mine?
Or was this your plan all along just to say goodbye

Here I am standing, crying
As the rain pounds the footpath
You disappear into the darkness
I drop to the floor, I don't care what they think

There you are standing, content
With all that you have done, it was for the best
That you walked away without me now,
You couldn't have stayed, right?

There you are standing, turning
To leave me laying lost and confused
Wet and cold without a reason to rise again
And you just don't care.
