When I say I want you to stay I’m on my knees until I bleed When I say I want you to leave That strength in me is self deceit Stained glass window Depictions of love A familiar stranger hangs from above I speak to you through lies but you decipher my truth My truth is my despair I surrender in your care Laceration Carved by the blades of grass Magenta streaks splashed on fields of green My pigment dissolves from a vacant shell What a beautiful way to leave To die in a memory Everything you knew was lost Now everything you know is stale Just know this life is but a phase To live in regret is to fail So use caution when you speak And be careful of what you think There is no love in a god you use to blame When I say I want you to stay I’m on my knees until I bleed When I say I want you to leave That strength in me is self deceit Now we wait in silence Breathe in the outside air Young face in the water’s mirror Could this be real? My limbs they feel so free I forgot what it’s like To have a clear chest when I breathe I want to take you there I want to take it away Hold on to the moment’s gift With no promise for tomorrow Save me From this world I am returning to and from It’s dire Panic is all that I know there Coping is wearing thin Heartless Heartless is the only way I can survive Show me Show me what I can be in a world that’s made from love You are you You are young So young No matter what they say No matter what they think I’ll keep you in my heart My mind My soul I Think I’ll be okay Lights from heaven Lead the way
