What Am I Here For?
What am I here for living in misery
Now that you've gone from my heart
That was my fear for you were my future
There was no reason to part
Still, I hope you'll change your mind
And that somehow you will find
You were meant to be my own
I'll be lost if I'm alone
I know that you remember all that you told me
Times when you'd hold me so tight
How could you grieve me how could you leave me
Knowing your love was my light
In your heart, there should be
Thoughts of your return to me
I will be happy, patiently waiting
Knowing just why I am here
I know that you remember all that you told me
Times when you'd hold me so tight
How could you grieve me how could you leave me
Knowing your love was my light
In your heart, there should be
Thoughts of your return to me
I will be happy, patiently waiting
Knowing just why I am here
Now that you've gone from my heart
That was my fear for you were my future
There was no reason to part
Still, I hope you'll change your mind
And that somehow you will find
You were meant to be my own
I'll be lost if I'm alone
I know that you remember all that you told me
Times when you'd hold me so tight
How could you grieve me how could you leave me
Knowing your love was my light
In your heart, there should be
Thoughts of your return to me
I will be happy, patiently waiting
Knowing just why I am here
I know that you remember all that you told me
Times when you'd hold me so tight
How could you grieve me how could you leave me
Knowing your love was my light
In your heart, there should be
Thoughts of your return to me
I will be happy, patiently waiting
Knowing just why I am here
