You haunt my dreams,
but I don't know why.
And I long to talk with you each day.
Your voice sends chills down my spine,
and a single look makes my heart jump.
It's not love, but what?
Why do I need you here?
Why do I miss you when you're not near?
What am I missing?
The voice inside tells me I need you,
need you to let me speak.
Without you I feel trapped inside,
but I'm left even more confused when I open up.
Nothing's the same, but I just can't explain,
and even my own thoughts betray me.
Tell me, please,
tell me what I need to know.
Tell me why I'm addicted,
addicted to your presence.
God knows when I'll see you again,
but you've earned my trust completely.
I could show you my scars, share my fears,
and not worry about the consequences.
I was growing to like my foolish ways,
but you pointed them out and I was shamed,
and I knew I had to fix them.
But what was I to do when they all abandoned me?
Miraculously you appeared,
and without a word calmed me.
I didn't have to spill my heart,
but you knew the words to save me.
And tell me why.
Tell me, please,
tell me what I need to know.
Tell me why I'm addicted,
addicted to your presence.
