For You To Be Here - Tom Rosenthal

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine That's got you to feeling this way, But I don't care, I want you to stay And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today The children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall But who cares what the night watchmen say The stage has been set for the play So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky Well the wind's runnin' free though it ain't up to me ask why But the poets are demanding their pay And they've left me with nothin' to say 'Cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today Just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

On the last time we met, your love was there You held my hand, bit your tongue Shut me out, spilled my blood all around Yeah, It Wasn't Easy to Be Happy for You Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too You held your punches back and I left the room Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you All alone you always fell We dragged you down, gave me help Made your bed, now you sleep On your own, yes, well, see Yeah, It Wasn't Easy to Be Happy for You Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too You held your punches back and I left the room Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you I know that you tried But you're no friend of mine Falling apart You played it the best A dame in distress Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for uou Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose I saw the restaurant table for two Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you Yeah, I took the poison praying you'd feel it too You held your punches back and I left the room Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you Yeah Yeah Yeah

Home for seven days and I haven't even seen your face I guess I've got a flight to change There ain't nothin' left to say If you really don't have it figured out by now There's no need for me to hang around I've gotta get out of town Five dollar drink and a lonely window seat Half empty plane on New Years Eve Love birds in the row in front of me are driving me crazy The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone Five, four, three, two, one Looks like it's just me and the whiskey Cause you ain't here to kiss me, no You ain't here to kiss me Raise a toast to the thought of you and me This was just the way it had to be 90 proof to give me clarity The flight attendant must know that somethings going on Can't hide the look of love gone wrong So she's pouring them a little strong Five dollar drink and a lonely window seat Half empty plane on New Years Eve Love birds in the row in front of me are driving me crazy The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone Five, four, three, two, one Looks like it's just me and the whiskey Cause you ain't here to kiss me No, you ain't here to kiss me At least we had a chance to know how it feels to love But it turns out love ain't always enough So I'll start getting over you With another five dollar drink and a lonely window seat Half empty plane on New Years Eve Love birds in the row in front of me just like we used to be The pilot comes on, says the year is almost gone Five, four, three, two, one Looks like it's just me and the whiskey Cause you ain't here to kiss me, no no You ain't here to kiss me, no no no no Oh oh You ain't here to kiss me

Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town Didn't see no use in sticking around I was green and busting at the seams to leave I was sitting on G, waiting on O The day I hit eighteen, I hit the road Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be What you want ain't always what you need Don't know what you got 'til it's gone And you're out on your own All you want is what you can't get back Once you let it go, then you know what you have Don't hold a candle to what you had Sometimes what you think you'll find It ain't quite what real life has in store So be careful what you wish for She was holding on just a little too tight Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be Don't know what you got 'til it's gone And you're out on your own All you want is what you can't get back Once you let it go, then you know what you have Don't hold a candle to what you had Sometimes what you think you'll find It ain't quite what real life has in store So be careful what you wish for 'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars I wish I could wish her back into my arms Don't know what you got 'til it's gone And you're out on your own All you want is what you can't get back Once you let it go, then you know what you have Don't hold a candle to what you had Sometimes what you think you'll find It ain't quite what real life has in store And you can't get her back no more So be careful what you wish for Be careful what you wish for

You promised a lifetime, but left in a moment I wonder if you even think about me Throw me a lifeline because I'm barely floating Stranded and broken You know you got me lost in the dark Is it too late? Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away Just to let me go Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo You look like an angel Thought I was in heaven But I'm just falling without you with me I thought I was able to learn from my lessons Was trying my best but You know you got me lost in the dark Is it too late? Is it too late for us? You know you got me lost in my heart Is it too late? Is it too late for us? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away? Just to let me go? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Ohhhh I'll never love again, I'll never love again Ohhhh I'll never love again, I'll never love again Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo Oh I was wasting my time hoping you'd call But damn you're so cold Oh why'd you make me feel safe Just to walk away? Just to let me go? Oh why'd you get me so high To leave me so low To leave me solo
