Stepping

Stepping
-----------

They say you're walking away...
And you've left me far behind
With no words to explain
No reasons why
Leaving me to wonder
If you'll even tell me goodbye?

You're shut me out again
Built up some walls again
Left me standing out in the cold
Watching from the outside
As you struggle with your demons
Fighting battles only you can win.

I'm silent
Nothing I can do or say
That'll change the way you feel
Nothing that'll help you decide
I'm only me
No matter how hard I try to hide.

I want to reach a hand out to you
But words said in haste
Hang heavily in the air
And nothing can take them back
Healing is slow there
So I pull back within myself.

They say that I need to be careful
Because I'm thinking with my heart
And it gets bruised easily these days
So I sit, and watch and listen
Trying to both be there for you
And not get into your way.

I know I've let you know I love you
I hope I've let you know I care for you
And if you ever need shelter in a storm
I'll still be standing here for you
And when you need encouragement
I'm still your biggest fan.

They say to hold my head up
To let you go and do your thing
That there's no longer any room for me
To not show any tears about this
Just know I love you my dear one
And my heart is beating for you.
