Withheld Love

I keep your name

In the quiet of my room

Like a small warm light

That never reaches you

You stand so close

Then drift away

And I am left with the words I never say

I′m longing for your

For the touch that never stays long enough

I reach, you fade, I wait in the glow

Still holding on to what you won't show

Every almost feels heavier than goodbye

Every maybe leaves a bruise inside

You give me hope, then take it back

And all my colors turn to black

I'm longing for

You′re withheld that

For the touch that never stays long enough

I reach, you fade

I wait in the glow

Still holding on to what you won't show

If you won′t stay

Then let me go

Don't make a home out of indigo

I can't keep living in the in-between

Where your silence keeps swallowing me

I'm longing for your without love

For the touch that never stays long enough

I reach, you fade, I wait in the glow

Still holding on to what you won't show
