Cherish

It’d be so brave of me to walk away, leave this apartment, leave this place we taint Hold my head, sleep on it, keep you waiting Draw it out, give you space ’til it pains you We sit in silence here in the bed we made I sit beside you, wearily taking your weight You pull back, I reach out, try to save you Come undone then go numb, like it’s easy to I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons I know that I won’t beat them Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder latеly As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to makе you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you Summer was wondrous feeling assured and safe, soaked in daylight and love We were thinking straight Photographs show us as we were then, babe Look at us now, tearing this down like we want it this way My childhood room is in boxes Packed up half of my life Everything I have to offer is in your hands, still I Feel I may not be enough You think I don’t fit quite right, but the way your body holds mine makes me think otherwise I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons I know that I won’t beat them Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder lately As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you What do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you What do I need to say to bring you back to recenter and see me the way I want you to I’m playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I’m no match for your demons I know that I won’t beat them Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder lately As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you It’d be so brave of me to walk away
