Something’s Missing Somewhere
Now that you are me and I you
And the leaves glitter, with the morning dew
How is it that, you not feel the same
How is it that, you see no pain
Where do you look my friend
What is it, that I missed to mend
Why do hide what you see
Why do hide what you feel
Do you feel, that you have wronged
Or is that, you know that song
Do you feel, filled with shame
Or is that, your tongue has left you lame
Why is it that, you cannot prove
What you really think you need to do
Why is it that, you cannot enact
What you really think you ought to track
Think not of yourself alone
For I am you and you me
And I was never a "wanna" be
Yet I found you by my side
Taking in with me every stride
Hold out your hand for me to take
And that's my promise, never to break
