Wondering

When I want to be heard by you

I mean more than just hear: I do

When I need you to embrace me

I want more then a small enlace.

I’m trying to talk, but you cant hear

I’ve said I would walk out the door

But you don’t belive me anymore

What could you say to make me stay?

I wouldn't know the answer, anyway.

Silent words are starting to hurt inside

I want to scream them all at the same time

Maybe I’m waiting for the day to arrive

When I’ll have the courage to make it mine.

You seem not to know how I feel

My heart is crying for something real

A simple hug would be more than fine

That’s all I need to keep the flame alive.

You seem to be living in a diferent world

Are you searching for something made of gold?

I will wait for you to wake up and realise

How much you have lost during this time.
