be here: a response

it's the warmth in the cold
even when these feelings get too old
if he could actually see the scars that she hides
would he want to stay by her side? 

is it all the same?
has it all been done before?

just to simply be here
to be safe without the fear
the walls aren't just of this house
they're everywhere in kerosene doused
she swears that she's made with a heart that won't break 
everything could be dead but she'd still believe

he whispers "it's not alright to be what you've become
these events do not have to be your final sum
i've tried to be quiet, but this heart is on fire
because it's you that i admire
and i want you to be here
i want you to be here
i want you to be here
i want you to be here"
 
and so she'll wait for these six simple words
because they're ones she's never heard
