Why I Stay Away

I have been thinking about you
and I miss you so much
sometimes I feel you are better off without me
and so never do I pick up the phone
all my words would just stop
cuz I guess if I saw you really
I would stumble
so this is to you
and all the love I never showed
and all the love I couldn't convey
this is just my pain
telling you why I stay away

I live in the shadows
and I just can't hang out
it's never enough you say just to see my presence
and drinking all the vodka
doesn't stop my eyes from crying
cuz I thought being tough was safe
but years later I find my choice
was wrong and now I just can't erase

all our seasons yet it was never enough time
I guess it don't matter who turns their back on whom
love like this has a way of just surfacing
but I just can't return it the way you do
and I can't leave my life
I am to scared to start anew
cuz emotions like these are too frightening
so please don't hate me
I know you don't
please understand
I know you won't

but I know you love me
that is what carries me through
while I am messed up in all this whiskey
while I am in denial
why I stay away.....
