I see you there, I place you here
I see you standing far away
While I want you close
I never know how to tell you
Yet I never want to see you cry
It's not as easy as you think
But you are worth the time

You're not too young, to understand
That life is not a bed of roses
Though it could be fun
Love is not a game you play
It's your heart and you could get it hurt
I'm giving you a hidden choice
If you're not sure just break away

I'm willing to hold on
For a little while longer
I have a place right in my heart that you could stay a while
I'm willing to show you
All that my life has got to show
If it will make you wise
Teach you to love
It's the best I can do
I demand no promises from you

You're just a saint, you're like an Angel
You look so clean, you look so pure
I don't ever want to see you cry
I wish I had the strength to keep you from the evil in this evil world
I know the times will heal  the pain
And I'll be here to urge you on

If in your heart, You know the truth
If you believe in the words you've heard
That they are true and they can give you life
Love will fill your empty heart if its true and you will let him in
But you don't get a second chance
Cause once you're dead, you're dead and gone

Don't make me wait too long
You can't take forever, you don't have forever
I'm here with open arms, reaching out, calling you

I'm willing to hold on
For a little while longer
I have a place right in my heart that you could stay a while
I'm willing to show you
All that my life has got to show
And it will make you wise
Teach you to love
It's the best I can do
I demand no promises from you
