Keeping my Distance
03:40

I’m keeping my distance
I don’t want to get too close to you
I don’t want to interfere
With all the things you want to do
So I’ll get out of the way
I’ll be over here if you need me
I want to be the one, the only one
you run to…
So I’m not too far away
I’m keeping my distance
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
I want you to miss me
I want you to notice I’m not here
So I’ll stay in the shadows
Coming into the light when you need me the most
I want to be the one, the only one
You run to…
So I’m not too far away
What if I could give you everything that I have to give?
What if I could promise you the world?
Would you come to me and tell me you trust me?
Would you put your faith in my love for you?
Until you make me yours…
I’m right here
I’m keeping my distance
But I’m staying close enough to see
You can call me anytime
Whenever it is that you need me
You know I’ll be around
Ready to step in and help you
I want to be the one, the only one
You run to…
So I’m not too far away

What Am I To Do?
04:21

What am I to do with what you’ve given?
I’m sure I don’t need to set it aside
I need to stand up to the ones who lie about you
Now is not the time to run and hide.
I look at the world around me
And I see you’re what people need
Please give me the strength to show them you
What am I to do with what you’ve shown me?
I have no need to hide it away
I am not ashamed of what you’ve told me to do
I need to share it if I can find a way
I look at the world around me
And I see you’re what people need
Please give me the strength to show them you
What am I to do with how I’m feeling?
Can you explain my fear of speaking out?
I see the world around me
And I know what people need
I know that I can show them
What it is that can set them free
Please still this fear within my heart
Keep me from being afraid
Please give me the strength to show them you
What can I do?

You might believe that I’m crazy
That I might not be right in the way I think
You might think that I’m a fooling man
That I believe and put my faith in foolish things
But you know me better than that
You know me better
You know the kind of man I am
You know I’m the kind who loves you
And you know me, and you can believe
There’s so much more to me than what you see
You know me better than that
You might think that I’m the type of guy
Who lives for himself all the time
And you might think the things that I’ve been given
To me are mine all mine
But you know me better than that
You know me better
You know the kind of man I am
You know I’m the kind who loves you
And you know me, and you can believe
There’s so much more to me than what you see
You know me better than that
But you know me better than that
You know me better
You know the kind of man I am
You know I’m the kind who loves you
And you know me, and you can believe
There’s so much more to me than what you see
You know me better than that

Outcast

|

I had no one
I had nothing worth living for
I was going nowhere
And I was lost within myself
But an angel of mercy in the form of a friend
Exposed me to a love that has no end
But was that enough for you
To want to take me in?
You hide behind
All the good things people think about you
You avoid the truth
You avoid showing how you really feel
I come to you in need of what you can do for me
But you won’t hear it because of what I used to be
Is anything enough for you
To want to take me in?
(Please take me in)
I never walked away
It was you who cast me aside
Is it because I don’t look like you
That makes you want to treat me this way?
Who’s gonna love me?
Who’s gonna give me what I need?
Who’s gonna love me?
Where will I find peace?
I just want to be part of what’s going on
I just want my life to mean something good
I just want to be wanted by someone else
I just want to be loved
I never walked away
It was you who cast me aside
Is it because I don’t look like you
That makes you want to treat me this way?
You ask me to trust you
You say you love me, but you won’t show me
I guess I’ll always be on the outside
You’re keeping me on the outside
Who’s gonna love me?
Who’s gonna give me what I need?
Who’s gonna love me?
Where will I find peace?
If you won’t believe in me
Then tell me where can I turn?
The last thing I need
Is to be alone
