Forbidden To Love A Tortured Soul

I look at you and I see your tortured soul
Hiding behind it's desperate disguise
Not wanting to be found, but wanting to be left by itself
To bleed and contemplate the hurtfull way of others' words
Yet needing a way out, needing to be discovered
You need to be loved, and I wish you'd let me be the one

Everyday I see you, with the same blank expression on your face
But I see right through it, and I can feel the pain inside of you
It torments me, just to sit and watch you fade away, day after day
I want to reach out, and take you by the hand - take you some place safe
Where pain does not exist, and we can be alone
So I could show you how much I truly care

The blood in your viens now runs as cold as ice
And I fear that you might be too far for anyone to reach
So I sit, and I hope, that someday you'll let me in
If you do, I hope that I can help you
I hope that I can make you see that there's at least one person in the world
Who can't live without you

So I sit, and watch, and wait, for the day that I'll be yours
And I hold on to the thought that someday you might hold me in your arms
Maybe someday you'll love me the way that I love you
But for now, tortured soul, just hold on a little longer
Your thoughts are the only company that you have now
But you need to be loved, and I wish you'd let me be the one
