Indigo Girls - i'll be there lyrics

it was you who walked into my life

you were the one

you hear my cries of loneliness

through my cool cautious eyes

can't you see me reaching out for you

can't you feel me there

won't you please believe me

i could never touch you for the fear

that i might never let you go

it was you with the courage and the commitment

to start your new life

you make me believe in mine

but can't you see the confusion

through my troubled smile

i'm torn between losing me

losing me and gaining you

maybe i've been distant

maybe i've been cold

but i've done it for my own existence

and i do believe i do believe it's getting old

i might never say that i love you

i might never say i care

but i will tell you now

that i'll always be there
