Fifteen Minutes

The same redundant words
That we say everyday
I really wish that I
Could find a better way
To tell you you're my everything
So you could say it back
I really hope that you know
You're the best I ever had
I'm trying hard to get to you
The last thing I would ever do
Is want to make you feel as bad
As I am feeling now
I wonder if I'll ever be
As good as you'd want me to be
I'm hoping that someday I will
But as for now, I'm here alone again
Another day goes by
I don't know what to say
The awkward silences
Are making me afraid
That we are drifting far apart
And you're waiting to leave
And everything I have with you
Is tearing at the seams
I'm staring at the stars tonight
I know they'll never be as bright
As your eyes when I look at you
You're beautiful I swear
That if you hold me in your arms
Just one more time, I'll hold on tight
I'll make it last forever
And maybe then, you'd know...
I called your phone last night
It went straight to machine
Fifteen minutes tops
That's really all that I will need
To tell you you're my everything
I hope you say it back
I've got my fingers crossed
'cause you're the best I ever had
Don't think that you're losing me
'cause there's no possibility
Of that, that's just not happening
I promise you, but promise me
That we'll get through this like we always do
The memories I hold onto
Will stay with me forever and
I really hope that you will too
