A Step Away

Here I am
Staring at my own palms
I feel the warmth of your hand
I thought I'd be forever by your side, protecting you
Assuming that's what you wanted too

I had no clue
That we had nothing between us
Perhaps I was so scared to know the truth
Now that you're gone, and yet your love is still embracing me
I'm at a loss, I need you with me

It's like I'm drowning
As if I've lost the way
But you always appear as if you guide my way
I thought I could do it all
I had my confidence
But now I'm left alone with no one by my end

I knew my faults
But I pretended I didn't know
I fear I'm not the kind of man you know
I see you smile, pretending everything is alright
But that made me feel more in misery

I don't know where to start
There's nothing left for me
I know I've lost it all except the memories
When I have my chin up high
I see a glimpse of light
Like how we find the brightest star up in the sky

I now have the courage to
Show you there is a way
You told me silently
I know what you will say
And when I search for you
I see a guiding light
It's now so clear to me that you're still far away
A step away
