If Given the chance

I hug you but I want to do
More than wrap my arms around you
Fighting back my finger tips
Biting on my lower lip

The things I would do
If given the chance
The way it would feel
If only a dance
The way I would hold you
If only for a day
And pray for it to never go away

You give a meaningless goodbye
I continue living this lie
I am biting down on my tongue
Holding my breath with swollen lungs
My heart is struggling beat
So inept and incomplete
All of these doubts rise among
These feelings remain unsung

The things I would do
If given the chance
The way it would feel
If only a dance
The way I would hold you
If only for a day
And pray for it to never go away

And my mind begins wondering
Heart, not beating, but thundering
Gasp for a breath that isn't there
You hold my soul and steal my air
My body is longing for you
But there is nothing I can do
Opened eyes, I've become aware
It's so unfair, this cross I bare

The things I would do
If given the chance
The way it would feel
If only a dance
The way I would hold you
If only for a day
And pray for it to never go away
