if you could only see

if you could only see the way she loves you,
maybe you would understand


i see you
standing there
blank stare
heart bare
cold air

and im screaming at the top of my lungs
just trying to catch your attention
before i catch my breath

this cold air burns and bites
its bitter
so bitter

and im whispering at the tips of my toes
just trying to warm your ear
before warming your heart

open your ears:
you can hear me
near you
let me

open your eyes:
they're frozen shut
in the spring
you'll see

its been me all along
though you hurt me too
i'll still sing this song
i'm always dancing with you



and if you read nothing
read this:
in this bitter cold air
i care
