"If It Takes All Night"

by ChinaDoLL - Libra

If It Takes All Night

Look into my eyes
And try to see in my heart
The pain I see in you
Is tearing me apart

I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
Even if it takes all night

All I want is to set you free
From this pain you’re feeling
I want to give you the love you need
I want to understand
What you’re going through-
But only if you’ll let me…

I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
Even if it takes all night

With your broken smile
I see your pain
I’m breaking myself
Into a thousand pieces
To fill the holes of your soul

Did you ever wonder where your dreams went
When the world got in your way?
What was the point in screaming,
When no one was listening anyway?

I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
Even if it takes all night

Please come down from this world turned over
My arms are open for you
Don’t worry about tomorrow
Because I’m the same as you

I’d give up forever to touch you
I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

Don’t worry about tomorrow
Because I’ll be right here with you
I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
Even if it takes all night.

Reason for writing:

    wrote for the guy i love... john. he's everything to me, & i want him to know that i will always be there for him. he's going through some things that i want to help him get through b/c i love him so much it tears me apart to see him so depressed all the time. (in case you were wondering, i used some lines from songs from the goo goo dolls, if it sounds familiar).
