Why Can't You Just Hold Me?

Comfortable as I am,

I need your reassurance.

And comfortable as you are,

You count the days.

But if I wanted silence,

I would whisper.

And if I wanted loneliness,

I'd choose to go.

And if i liked rejection,

I'd audition.

And if I didn't love you,

You would know.

And why can't you just hold me?

And how come it is so hard?

And do you like to see me broken?

And why do I still care?

You say you see the light now,

At the end of this narrow hall.

I wish it didn't matter;

I wish I didn't give you all.

But if I wanted silence,

I would whisper.

And if I wanted loneliness,

I'd choose to go.

And if I liked rejection,

I'd audition.

And if I didn't love you,

You would know.

And why can't you just hold me?

And how come it is so hard?

And do you like to see me broken?

And why do I still care?

Poor little misunderstood baby;

No one likes a sad face.

But I can't remember life without him,

I think I did have good days..

I think I did have good days.

And why can't you just hold me?

And how come it is so hard?

And do you like to see me broken?

And why do I still care?
