And you say rise above

Open your eyes up

And you say rise above

But I can't, I can't

I breathe in his breath and try to turn away but he grabs my arm. He keeps me close to him. I can't do it. I can't be here.I have to look away; I don't dare look him in the eyes. I hear him speak but I don't listen.

How long will it take

Before these feelings

Go away

How much longer do I wait

And are there any real answers

Anyway

I can't stand it. I need the truth, but I need to stay away. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. This isn't where I belong. I can't stay here like this, not with him. It's not where I belong.

Your silence in a crowded room

Louder than the loudest tune

I hang on every word

Nothing surrounds me. It's just him standing in front of me. He's the only thing I see. He's the only thing I hear. I feel his heart beat against my own chest. I must get away. This is a mistake. I must get away.

And you say rise above

Open your eyes up

And you say rise above

But I can't, I can't

I cannot look into his eyes. I can't fall into the spell. It's all a trap. I can't do it. I can't let myself do this. I can't let him in so easily. I have to leave, I have to get away.

I miss you in everything

I was too fast traveling

To take you in

I know, silence is no crime

Just wish I could hear you fill it up

One more time

I realize that I should have opened up my eyes, but now I don't know if I'll get another chance.I need to hear him speak. I want to hear his voice. He's not here with me. I need him here now. I should have trusted him. I don't know what held me back.

Yes, I know what you say to me

Exactly what you say to me

I still hang on every word

I miss our conversations. I knew I was stupid. How did I let you pass me? It's too late now. How did I let you go so easily? I need someone. I need him. It can only be him.

And you say rise above

Open your eyes up

And you say rise above

Yourself

My eyes are open. I can see now. The only thing in the way was myself. I can see my mistakes; I know where I went wrong. I missed my chance. Everything is on the past. I can fix everything if he lets me. Is it too late now that he's gone?

In a time of treason

Is there time for trust?

Where there's no them

Only us

Is there time for reason?

Has your heart had enough

Is it time to let go

And rise above?

I want him back. I need him with me. I need his body close to mine. I need him to understand. Can he trust me again? I trust him now. I didn't before, but I made a mistake. We can all let go of the past, as long as he'll be here with me. I won't be able to move on.

And you say rise above

Open your eyes to love

And you say rise above

Yourself

My eyes are fully open. I see him standing in front of me. Nothing surrounds us. I look into his eyes. I capture every word he says to me. I know that I have to do this. I can do this. I trust him. I press my lips against his. I don't ever want to stop. Can this last forever? I return to reality and look back to him. I realize that this is where I belong. Right here and right now.

I belong with him.
