I want you to love me,
I want you to love me so bad it hurts.

But I know all you want to do is find an escape,
To be somewhere far away and alone and free.

Even as you are broken on the inside,
Even as you fall, you would stand by yourself.

But I will not let you go,
I will not, note could not, set you free.

And yet, if I love you I should stay aside so that you're happy,
Is that not right?

So why is it that I am still here and remain hopeful?
Why is it that I am still waiting knowing that things won't change?

Knowing that you don't love me,
Knowing that if I were to love you it can only end in a disaster.

So how unfortunate things are,
For it would seem that it was I who lost.

Because it would be that I must abandon you,
If only to save you and let you go.

Even if I were to sink until I cannot swim in the process,
And I can no longer be found for there is no future left for me.

So Angel,
If you find me,
Will you show me to where I should go?
