If I could only show you
The real thing
I'd lift up a veil
You'd see what's really there
And still want it
Sometimes I have such a sadness
Surrounding
The ache of it all
Sometimes it's big and it's small
It consumes me
I think
I need you to know
I feel
Maybe this time I can show
It's hard
Living alone with
These thoughts
Can I build a home
If I could only show you
The feeling
Like love's taken away
Just another day in my head
Sometimes I fear I'm a fool who
Stares at the sun
I soak in its eye
Why am I that surprised
When I get burned
I think
I need you to know
I feel
Maybe this time I can show
It's hard living alone with
These thoughts
Can I build a home
Where I've stood and
Where I stand
I carry with me as we walk
Hand in hand
He's been there for so long
I run behind trying to find
Where I belong
But don't I know that
What's inside is mine
I have the tools and
I've got the time
She's been away for so long
Cari says no rush with
What you're working on
I will wait
Sign my name
Keep moving
And build my own
