One day I'll see that smile on you

This Step Alone - Elliott Yamin

It's takin' it's toll girl
This silence is cold
We're stuck at a dead end
I'm startin' to wonder
Did I say something wrong?

I keep askin' the question
Will you turn around and come with me?
Or should I read the signs and leave and let you be?
Now I'm standin' at this roadblock
And there's no way around it
I've been waitin' for your mind to change
Cuz I feel so one sided

I saw us break
I watched us fall
It made no sense to me at all
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step alone
In my heart of hearts
I always knew
This jump was way too far for you
One day I'll see that smile on you
You say that you will wont
But then you don't will
So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone, alone

So give me a reason
Why you're on the outside
When you should be in here
When we'll get together
So maybe it's better
I walk alone but you'll always be near

Now there's no room for settlin'
I gotta do this, I need to
But this mirror I'm lookin' in
There's no reflection without you

Cuz I saw us break
I watched us fall
It made no sense to me at all
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step alone
In my heart of hearts
I always knew
This jump was way too far for you
One day I'll see that smile on you
You say that you will wont
But then you don't will
So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone

The sanctity I found deep in your arms
It was a false alarm real and it burns yeah it hurts
I lie awake at night and think of what we could have been if it worked
Then we chose to go our separate ways instead of meeting each other halfway
And If I had to choose girl, I'd have you by my side

So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone... till I'd have you by my side again.


The only difference between my ending and Elliott's? I know all will be well.
I love you girl.
