Lyrics to a Missing Song

Reaching out to where you are
everywhere in particular
this is what there is to me
this is what you've purchased
Everything I used to say
adolescent certainty
is it wisdom to suggest
that I do not know what's best

That is why I call your name
that is why I cry
that is why I'm silent
that is why I sigh
I forget so easily
everything you think of me
tell me one more time
that I'm still someone you'd try for

I can't tell you what I want
I'm not even sure I know
Everything I ask might be
Just another thing for me
You'd be right to close the door
But you always give me more
Assuming that the offer stands
here I am with no demands

That is why I call your name
that is why I cry
that is why I'm silent
that is why I sigh
I forget so easily
everything you think of me
tell me one more time
that I'm still someone you'd die for

Somewhere in this conversation
I have stopped negotiation
I don't need an explanation
I accept it
