Breathless

All the things I wanted to be

You know I give up too easily

Wound up in vulnerability

All the shit I thought I wanted to take

By the time I did, it was too late

Wound up with bellyache

As I flew out way past the stars

So far out, I forgot who I was

And when I started to fall

It turned out I had nothing at all

'Til you came for me

As I try to breathe you in

You were my breath when I was breathless

As my thoughts dissolve away

Your memories are my forgetfulness

When my mind was in a haze

You helped me think when I was thoughtless

After all I put you through

You showed compassion and forgiveness

All the faces I thought I could depend on

Left me high and dry with nothing to spend

Caught up with my flexible friend

To everyone else, it must've looked so bizarre

I thought half the time I was a superstar

It caught up and now I've gone too far

'Til you came for me

Out of touch, out of my own

You gave me help when I was helpless

All the things you did for me

You did in kind to teach me kindness

As I try to breathe you in

You were my breath when I am breathless

As my thoughts dissolve away

Your memories are my forgetfulness

After all I say and do

You still don't mind when I am mindless

When I can't see where to turn

You give me sight while I have blindness
