Lyrics
You've given so much of yourself
There's nothing left of you to cling to
'Til now you've treated me so well
When needed, you've always come through
But now you're blistered and you're broken
You're shredded, tattered, and reeling
I know you're too far relied on
I know you're stretched to the ceiling
I deserve
All of your harsh words
And I accept
I've only made things worse
I've given so much of myself
There's nothing left of me to sing through
And though I treated you so well
I simply fought to survive you
But now I'm crumpled and I'm condemned
Can't find the words for this feeling
It's time for us to close the book when
There's nothing still worth concealing
I deserve
All of your harsh words
And I accept
I've only made things worse
Please don't go
Don't give up on me
Don't leave me lonely
We just need some sanctuary
I swear that we'll be fine
'Cuz I deserve
All of your harsh words
And I accept
I've only made things worse
You don't need (you don't need me)
Someone weak like me (don't leave me lonely)
To tell you how to feel
While I watch you
While I watch you bleed
