lyrics

A fading flower, a crumbling leaf You take a twig and I’ll take the whole tree, You give your all and I take, I take it all For heaven’s sake... How do you stay? A heart of gold with a selfish streak, I’ll give it all for a little relief, I hold you down, you still build me up, I’d fight for you if I had the strength to get up, How do you stay? I was so tired how could you love me? I swallow all the good a human shell with a heartbeat, I try to run, you hold on to me I swear I’ll get better or at least I’ll try. . I open up but nothing comes out, I push it down, it’s never enough You’ve spent so much time, you’ve seen it all how long until you give up? How do you stay? It’s all so loud, and I can’t find peace but my mind is quiet every night when you hold me I tell myself when I go to sleep, tomorrow will be better but I’m neck deep in jealousy, There’s not a time, when you haven’t forgiven me, I swear I’ll get better I swear I’ll get better For you I’ll get better Or at least... I’ll try.
