Whatever's for Us

I was very sad last night 
 You came by 
 I was so glad though sadness covered 
 The smile I kept for you 
 I was waiting for the cloud to pass over 
 Then I could show my love


 You could have made me laugh if you'd stayed 
 But you left 
 I was more confused than I was before you came 
 I was frightened 
 I saw insanity and tears 
 I shouted for you to stay


 It could have been better 
 If you had held my hand 
 And smiled at me 
 Or questioned why 
 My face was so distorted


 I'm back in the sunlight again 
 Oh I'm so glad 
 It's only joy I wanna give to you 
 Sometimes I feel lost and desperate 
 Please forgive me 
 If I show no sign of reasoning 
 Or consideration 
 In my bleaker times
