Can you See?
I want you here,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you gone,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you to know,
 and yet I don’t . . .
 
 I want you here
 Then I can tell you all
 and yet I don’t
 Then I can keep it all inside
 I want you here
 because I know you’ll be able to catch me when I fall
 and yet I don’t
 because I can fall on my own, runaway and hide
 
 I want you here,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you gone,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you to know,
 and yet I don’t . . .
 
 I want you here
 Then I don’t have to feel
 and yet I don’t
 Then I don’t end up alone
 I want you gone
 because I want to feel real
 and yet I don’t
 because I want it to be you when I pick up the phone
 
 I want you here,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you gone,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you to know,
 and yet I don’t . . .
 
 I want you to know
 Then I can let myself truly be me
 and yet I don’t
 Then I can forget about pain
 I want you to know
 because it will be easy, just to let you see
 and yet I don’t 
 because I don’t know if I can stay sane
 
 I want you here,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you gone,
 and yet I don’t.
 I want you to know,
 and yet I don’t . . .
 
 I guess I don’t . . .
