i can only do so much
when you cry and say i love you
well i can only hold back so many tears
when you say you need me to hold you
i can only sit idly by as you shiver and hurt
for so long
before it hurts me more than you
i don't know how to make a day go faster anymore
too many scars to prove my ill ways
when you cough over the telephone
you know i want to let you bury yourself in me
there are only so may ways to cradle you
and none of them can be done from over here
and i can only do so much for you when you're hurt
i can only hold you up for so long
from here
and if you'll be strong for just a few more days
i'll take away all that you feel
i'll make you forget about all you know
until we can only recall us
only what we are.
it's all that matters.
because i can only do so much
from so far away.
