Here with me

everytime i close my eyes
your face appears
behind a disguise
of hatred, of broken rooms
unfinished stories
with me inside

you cry to hurt, i hurt and cry
i lie and curse
you say goodbye
a million times, a million sounds
ringing in my head at night
calling out to rescue me
i’ll never ask
you to rescue me
i never meant
to fall in love
but i’ll never ask you
to not fall back out

were you ever really in
did you ever care enough
are you really who
you say you are
do you smile when you’re happy
do you frown when i’m sad?

is it true it seems you’re always leaving
or is it that you were never here?
i’m never without you
were you ever, ever here?
are you ever here..
