Genesis: An Atonement

I can't imagine how hard this must be for you to let me go without letting me try for something more.

How could you just throw away something so extravagant and something with so much meaning?
We created something good.

I tried so hard to show them who I truly was but they never gave me a second chance.

...and I promise my intentions were good.
But I need need something more than this to endure.

Give me something to live for.
Help me pretend that you are here.
Please just tell me this will all be over soon.

I can't control myself when I'm without you.
I can't be alone for one more minute.
I can't believe myself when I'm without you.
I cannot be alone for one more minute.

Why won't this just take it's place and leave me on my own?
Why can't I find comfort in this love anymore?
