My head is clouded,
The storm has finally passed,
But the haze won't go away.
I don't want you to be gone.

I sit here alone,
For I refuse to find another.
It wouldn't be fair to her
Because all I can think of is you.

I don't want to hurt anyone
That's never been my intent.
As horribly lonely as my life is,
I won't bring another into it.

I'm afraid to bring someone close,
For fear that I'll push them away,
That I will make them hate me,
The way it was with you.

I need to change,
I'm a broken man.
I feel like only you can fix me,
Yet I fear that you won't.

I want you to help me,
But I don't know how to ask.
I've already hurt you so much,
How could you trust me again?

The puzzle of my life
Is incomplete without you,
But I blame myself for everything,
I know I don't deserve you.

I want things to be
The way they were before,
When we first fell in love
And nothing else mattered.

So now I sit here alone,
I don't know what to do.
I can't want anyone else,
But I can't have you.
