"Too Much"

I didn't find out who you were
Until it was too late.
Now I can't tear my heart away;
This need is much too great.
You're holding on, you're letting go
And all with open arms.
No one seems to know but me
The evil of your charms.
I look at you, you seem so close;
Your heart's so far away.
All I want is for you, boy,
To ask for me to stay.
You cut me with your words.
You heal me with your touch.
I wish that you would set me free;
It's hurting me too much.
I wish you'd let me see
Why I am stuck with you
And why I haven't run away
From what you've put me through.
How can I turn away from you,
Although I know I should?
Yet still for love, I turn to you
And wish so that you could.
Running from my future,
I dive into my past.
I cling to you and close my eyes
And pray that it'll last.
