Trembling Blue Stars

She's Always There

Album: Her Handwriting [1997]
Author: Bobby Wratten

I've lived with this longing for over a year

She's always with me, she's always there

My first thought on waking, last before sleeping

And I just can't see I'll ever be free of her

And I just can't see myself ever thinking it's not

A waste we're apart

How I wish she couldn't live without me

The way that she now can

And the way I can't give up hope completely

What does she make of that?

I guess it must try

Her patience so

But I hope that as well

She understands how

How I can't let go

And there are still times, still times when I

Think that she only will save me

And I know that's hardly a fair thing to think

I know how unfair that is of me

Of me, of me

I want to be happy again

Something that she made me

I want to be happy again

And I'm so afraid I never will be

I found and I lost the one

I've lived with this longing for over a year

She's always with me, she's always there

My first thought on waking, the last before sleeping

And I just can't see I'll ever be free of her
