What can I do but sit here and wait 
Wait for the days to pass 
And for the nights to disappear 
What can I do but sit here and wonder 
What would it be like without you 
Where would I go and what would I do 
How could I cope and would there be hope 
I don't know the answers to so many questions 
Is there life beyond your love 
Is there happiness or is there darkness 
Was it meant to be or are we kidding ourselves 
Maybe we moved just a bit too fast 

I don't think I'd be happy if you left 
But I know I'd learn this time 
To take my time and have some fun 
Before I try to settle myself down 
I wasn't ready to be this way 
I want to still be sixteen 
I want to party with my friends 
I want birthday parties and cake 

You've given me those things 
And I've always wanted to marry you 
But somewhere deep inside I yearn 
I need to be free, to be myself 
Your love is all I ever wanted 
And I don't know if I can take it anymore 

I love you more than words can say 
More than I could ever show you 
But I feel that even while I'm rushing you 
I'm rushing myself too 
I want to go to school 
I want to be something important 
I want to be special 
I want my parents to care more 

Most of all I want to be sixteen 
Life was fun and carefree 
The things that worried me most 
Was if I'd live to see this day 
And now that I have you 
It's not that I don't want you 
It's that I wasn't ready for this love 
I never thought love could be so deep 
And it tears me up inside 
Because even though I want to marry you 
I know I'm not ready 
And even though I want my babies 
I know I'm not ready 
And I wasn't ready to be loved so much. 

I've never had what we share 
I never felt true love 
And when it was the man I wanted 
It felt so much better 
I would die for you 
At the snap of any finger 
Just say the word 
And I'll cut my throat for you 
I'd work a million years 
Making no money 
Just to show you the love I have 

I thought I was right 
When I wanted to move out with you 
But since we've lived together 
I feel less of a part of your life 
You always want to sleep 
And when you wake 
You only have to sleep again 
I cherish every kiss I get 
Because I never know if it will be the last 
Shame on me for ever doubting your love 

I want to be with you forever 
I want to grow old with you 
But when does forever begin? 
You were right in telling me 
That I am much too young 
I was just to stubborn to see 
What was too good for me 

You gave me more than I ever deserved 
I was never good to you 
Always hitting and kicking 
Biting and yelling at you 
I'm so very sorry 

I sometimes wonder if I'm better off alone 
If maybe god had dealt me a shitty deck of fate 
For how is it that I love you so much 
That the only way I know I'll make you happy 
Is to not be there at all 
I hate god for what hes done to me 
The men he put in my way 
The bruises and memories he left me 
He did one right thing when he gave me you 
But he never even prepared me for what you have 
I want to settle down with you 
But my body wants to travel 
My heart wishes to stay with you 
But my feet are on the run 

I'd be wrong to leave you 
Becasue that isn't what I want 
I just want things to be the way they were 
Sometimes I feel as though I saw you more 
When I lived with my parents 
You weren't sleeping all the time 
I can't sit around all day and wait 
It kills me to watch you sleep 
I don't want to go out with my friends 
I want to go out and be with you 
And even though I know its not 
Why does it feel like your job is more important 

I don't want to lose you 
Not to anything 
Even my stubborn self 
I want to be with you 
I want you to wake up 
And see me for who I am 
I only try to change myself 
To try and make you interested again 
I want you to look at me the way you used to 
When you'd pick me up from home 
And kiss me so softly 
Why did moving out together 
Change all that we had 
I love this life with you 
And I want to share the memories 
But sometimes I just wish I could live the single life 
Without worrying if you still love me 
Without feeling like I'm leaving you behind 
Everytime I hang out with a friend 

I'm still so very young 
Theres so much that I can do 
I'm not saying you're holding me back 
But I wish you'd help me along 
I need your help so badly 
My faith in myself is running low 
There are so many days 
I'd feel better off dead 

I love you with all my soul 
And everything I have is yours 
Especially my heart 
I'm not saying goodbye 
But why does it hurt so much 
When we say hello 

Please wake up 
For me 
Please just once 
Wake up 
And be with me 
Not at home 
Not at someone elses house 
Not at a store or food place 
Just me and you 
Alone 
Please wake up 
For me
