My greatest fear is knowing the sound of your laugh,
Knowing that you’re my better half,
But having to pretend I never did.
Sometimes, when you say you need some space,
I’m afraid my worst fear’s taking place,
And when you tell me you’re tired,
I get angry tears on my face.
For times like that darling,
Please save me some of your grace.
I know that in times like those,
You wish no one would come close,
But I stay there like a ghost.
It’s a house that’s haunted,
But it’s the home you wanted.
And I’ll leave you be for a little while,
If you tell me you’ll be back tomorrow,
Even if my eyes will stay on the dial,
I won’t feel that deep lonely sorrow,
If you just give me your word,
Tell me I’m your whole world,
Promise that you’re all mine,
I’ll leave you be for that time.
Tell me you love me dear,
That you shall soon be here,
Hold me as close as can be,
Say you’ll never leave me.
I fear knowing your eyes are grey not blue-green,
Knowing you’re the only one who’ll ever make me feel seen.
But pretending I never knew it.
Sometimes, I think about how home is not a place,
It’s your hands hugging my face,
Lifting it up for a sloppy kiss,
Completely lacking all grace.
Times are different now darling,
I’m not afraid of your need for space.
And now in times like these,
You say “Darlin’ I need some space please”,
But first, you give my hand a squeeze.
My fears they don’t taunt me,
Those insecurities don’t haunt me.
You just give me your word,
Tell me I’m your whole world,
Promise that you’re all mine,
And I leave you be for that time.
You tell me you love me dear,
That you shall soon be here,
Squeeze me as tight as can be,
And say you won’t ever leave me.
