What I Want From You
I've kept quiet
 for far too long. 
 I stood my and watched, 
 but not a second more. 
 I'm gonna tell you 
 exactly what I want from you, 
 since you don't seem to have a clue. 
 I can tell you, 
 I don't want much. 
 I'm not as compicated 
 as you make me seem. 
 I'm as easy to read 
 as an open book. 
 Can't you see? 
 I want you to hold my hand, 
 just a simple gesture 
 to show that you're there. 
 When I'm scared, 
 hold me tight.
 Never let me go. 
 Tell me I'm beautiful, 
 when I think I'm ugly. 
 Be my rock, 
 when I'm going to fall. 
 Listen when I speak to you, 
 even if it may mean nothing to you, 
 it means everything to me. 
 Let me know just how much youcare. 
 I'm not one 
 to open up to strangers, 
 to spill my wants and desires to just anyone. 
 I can't even find the courage 
 to tell you how I feel
 and how these feelings are so real. 
 So these words are nothing but a waste. 
 You won't read them. 
 And yet, 
 these are the things
 I want most.
