If I tried to do this alone, there’s no chance that I’d make it, It’d bury me

I depend on you, you’re my home

But god how it scares me to think that your patience is wearing thin

Do you see it on her face, the resentment?

For every time you shook her out of her sleep

For every time you pushed and begged her to end it

Stay with me, stay with me till it all passes me by

I'm sorry this happens and thank you for giving me time

Let me bury myself in your comfort

Though I know that I'm leeching you dry

Will you carry me, still call me "Lover"?

Though the weight of me shows in your eyes

I sense it, the increasing distance

And I sense it, your exit plan forming

I sincerely fear that I've turned you to ice

No longer your sense of warmth

Stay with me, stay with me till it's all gone

You're a shelter from storms no one sees as they're passing

And you've weathered me silent and thankless

Never asking

Patience is the only word that I seem to forget

Any lesson learned is lost in the process of living it (I can't)

How many times will you allow me to cut you down? (Help it)

Unintentional incisions bleed you dry of your time (I can't help it)

Are you wasting your life with me? (I can't)

Pull out my eyes (Help it)

Great winding stairways leading to nothing built upon something I thought would change (I can't help it)

All I need is you (I can't)

Please leave me here (Help it)

I can't help it

I can't help it

I can't help it

I can't help
