No One Else
© 2006 katie laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP
Oh how the years pass
Sand through an hourglass
And change, it comes so slow
Looking in the mirror
Wishing to see clearer
All the things I should know
Where has my head been
Caught in this tailspin
I’m a glutton for punishment
Wondering where it went
All the reckless time spent
Without a hint of sentiment
I’m having trouble seeing
All the beauty in this life
Oh I’ve no trouble feeling
The pain, it cuts like a knife
No one else could love me
No one else could see the truth
No one else could pick me up
And make me feel the way you do
No one else could save me
No one else could see me through
No one else, no one else, no one else but you
I want to stay here
This prison sanctuary
I call all my own
It’s comfortable you know
I live here alone
It’s like my pillow at home
Need you to plan my escape route
Please couldn’t you help me out
If the keys have all been tossed
Could I beg your forgiveness
Naked and helpless
So everything’s not lost
I want to try harder
I want to go further
It’s not fair where I stand
Oh held captive in
This dreadful silence
Unaware of your hand
I rise through the ceiling
Oh what a feeling
To gain a vantage point all new
Like a child unhindered
By the fire and its cinders
Like no one else but you
No One Else
