Haunted

It's never
"I don't love you"

And it's never
"I don't care"

It's always
"I crave you"
"I need you"
"I want you"

Forever
"Please, baby"
"C'mon, baby"
"Why not, baby?"

I'd do so much more for me and you
I've done so much for me and you
I'm just asking that you do
This one thing for us, too

And it's hard,
But I will dare

And it's hard,
Much more than "maybe"

But, step out of comfort, baby
We'll have much more than "maybe"
Love's far deeper than just caring
And those close to me are daring

I'm just asking that you do
This next thing for me and you

I can't keep pulling you along
Can't keep up this lonely song
But if you force this solitaire
Please release me from this snare

And I'll step out of comfort, baby
We'll have so much less than "maybe"
Love's so much more than wanting
So much more than two souls' haunting
