Behind The Lines

I held the book so tightly in my handsI saw your picture, heard you call my nameIt was strange, I could not look awayI had to be there, I wanted to goYou gave me no reason, you gave me no warningBut I was with you, by your sideGive me the strength so I can help youAnd I can be strong now, they don't frighten meIt's written in the bookThe sun is hotter than beforeBut inside it's cold, I wonder whyBut if the fire within your heart can beat the stormWell, I believe we can make it rightIt's time now, to show our feelingsLooking through you, your heart's emptyWhatever happened to you, you can't change itNowhere to run to, please, oh, please don't let me downBut wait a minute, I don't understandIt's getting stronger, hold my handDon't wanna leave you, I 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 hereOh LordIt's written in the bookI held the book so tightly in my handsI saw your picture, heard you call my nameOh, and even though we never, never touchedI keep waiting for you just the same
