Reaching Out To You

You gave me your hand,
But you took it away.
You wanted to speak,
But you kept quiet anyway.
You give me hope that I’d be let in,
Then you’d just clam up again.

You leave me out,
In the middle of nowhere,
I’m left standing in the dark,
All alone, full of doubt.
You give me hope that I’d be let in,
But you’d just hide your feelings again.

At this very moment
I have nothing more to say.
The thought of being with you slowly fades away.
You’re near yet so far,
It’s never easy,
Reaching out to you.

Last night I’ve been thinking,
Maybe we’re just not meant to be.
No matter how hard I try,
You still do not trust me.
Is it time to go our separate ways,
And set each other free?

At this very moment
I have nothing more to say,
The thought of being with you has simply faded away.
You’re near yet so far,
It’s never easy,
Reaching out to you.

Just now I’ve been thinking,
For the sake of dear old memories.
I guess I shouldn’t give up trying
So one day you will give your heart to me.

I’ll keep on reaching out,
So our love may remain forever true.
I promise to be a real man,
But the choice is up to you.
