"You're beautiful" he says, his hand sliding down my back
"You're unforgettable" he says, pressing me into the wall
"I need you" he says, his fingertips at my jeans

"Stop" I say, my arms against him
"Slow down" I say, my lips moving away
"Not now" I say, my hand pushing his

"You're a tease" he says
"You're worthless" he says
"Waste of time" he says

You sway a bit as you struggle to hold onto the match in your hands.
Refusing to meet my eyes as you strike it and lay it down.
Together we watch the flames begin to grow
Inching their way across
Our bridge.
My hands stay tied behind my back
As you disappear in smoke.
And the last words you hear me whisper:
"are you sure?"

Something to ease my aching mind.
Let it echo off the bulletproof sky.
And I will sing for you,
My own lullaby.

They say that troubles come and go,
To bob and weave with the currents ebb and flow.
But I've been trying for far too long
To keep my head above the water
My arms are not that strong,
