You left me to fend off the intruders alone Quietly left while I fought back Telling them it wasn't right, I'm yours Showing them the song and dance The slowest waltz to explain the beat Only to realize I was explaining alone I was fighting by myself
They carry no fear of it No impulse to pull you back in They just loosen your grip Slowly undoing your fingers Each time you quickly replace one A constant battle to hold on Never let go of the cliff Stay on the mountain and breathe it in
And so suddenly I don't exist As if all those moments never happened only for you I'll carry them around Life a weight fighting to drown me The face you held in your hands Struggling to stay above water Trying to catch one more gasp of fresh air Begging for some semblance of hope The deepest of blue begging for a hand Begging for a glimpse of what should be
