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 Know Me Better Than That 04:21

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

lyrics

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
