The Biggest Fear

Hunting a dream
That you can keep
You take a fall
And hit the street
Blood pooling softly
In your teeth
And here I am.

When the searching
Grinds on and on
You stop and wonder
What went wrong
Was it you then
All along?
And here I am.

Couldn't stand to watch you hit the wall
Couldn't sit there as you waste away
Tell me your reasons, give me a call
You deserve a brighter day
Again

Did you lose yourself
Out there somewhere?
Hurting so bad
You no longer care
Grabbing hold
Hanging on
To anyone

I'm not asking you to throw away dreams
Or to give away living at night
I just hate to see you stumble and bleed
And settle for something less than right

Hunting a dream
That you can keep
You take a fall
And hit the street
Blood pooling hotly
In your teeth
You sit there crying
In your sheets
With tears that never
Reach your feet
And here I am.

Can't stand to watch you hit the wall
I can't just sit there as you fall
Ten suns collapse.
The moon breaks down.
It's not your fault you feel alone
Cold and inhuman to your bones
I stand here waiting like a fire
Where truth and false get put aside
I'll take your hands
I'll warm your hands
You don't even have to smile.
