Through The Night

I know things are really foggy now.
I know your poor head is filled with doubt.
I feel the hurt imprisoning you.
Everything you feel, I feel too.
I want so bad to reach out and say,
"Oh well! It's just another day!"
but this time I've got to go on and live,
and see just what this life can give.

(chorus:)
But, I just want you to know,
wherever you might go,
when you close your eyes,
and break down inside,
I can feel it too.
I just want you to see
how much it's hurting me,
and when I close my eyes
and break down inside,
I wonder, can I make it through the night?

For way too long, something felt so wrong.
I knew it deep down all along.
I tried to pretend it didn't matter,
but we couldn't overcome the pattern.
But, my love for you was not a lie,
and to make it work, we both did try.
Something vital just isn't there,
but that doesn't mean that I don't care

(repeat chorus)

Maybe, there's a future; Maybe, there's not,
but I'll never appreciate what we've got
unless I find out what I want;
just who I am and what I've got.
I would never intentionally hurt you,
which is why this is such an issue.

(repeat chorus 2x)
