Behind The Lines

I held the book so tightly in my handsI saw your picture, heard you call my nameThere was something strange, I could not look awayI wanted to be there, I wanted to goYou gave me no warning, you gave no reasonBut I was with you, right by your sideJust give me the strength and I can help youThey can try their hardest, they don't frighten meIt's written in the bookIt's hotter than I've known beforeBut I feel so cold and I don't know whyBut if the fire within your heart can beat the stormThen I really believe you could make it rightThe time has come now, we must show our feelingsBut I'm looking right through you and your heart is emptyWhatever happened to you, it's too late to change nowThere's nowhere you can run to, no place to hideAh, you let me down...but wait a minute, I don't understandIt's getting stronger, so grab my handDon't wanna leave you, don't wanna goBut I'm losing all controlCan't you see me, I'm slipping awayI can only stay if you've the will to keep me hereIt's written in the bookOh, so many times since hten I've read those wordsJust waiting to see you, can you see me?
