If I had control over the yearnings of my soul

I'd stop it from wanting'�

I'd keep it from taunting my heart to skip a beat

Every time our eyes meet

I'd keep my mind from fabricating dreams of what could be

Depending on what should be

Instead of just dealing with what just 'is'�

I got dibs on tomorrow'�betting double or nothing on the day that will follow

Because yesterday's bet'�was lost today

and even though I pray'�my skies are still grey

Because I never win and it's a sin cuz all I'm betting is that love will come find me

and it's a shame that when choosing key players for its biggest game

Love just chooses to pass me by and not give me a try in its selection

I'm not looking for fame just affection'�

in the purest form that it can be given without asking why

I want a warm body to lie next to me when darkness fills the sky

I try to be satisfied and get by with what I have but the more I try to ignore

The failure score creates an emptiness that grows within

And the bigger it grows the more I realize that nobody knows

The pain that lies within me

I'm tired of trying

Living a life as if I were dying

When I'm just dying to live

Dying to find someone that's as willing and able to give

Just a little bit of what I need

Damn'�I just want someone to love me

Can someone'�Just one'�one day

Find his path'�find the way that will allow him to find me

And then chose...

to stay
