Slap me across the face. Punch me in the gut. Cut me open, tear me apart.

Rip the skin from off my flesh. Turn my blood into a work of art.

But please. Oh, please..

Don't break my heart.

I want nothing.
But to make this world okay for you.
But I don't think
I have the strength.

I want nothing.
But to take all your pain away.
But I don't think
I'm the right one.

I want nothing.
But to love every inch of you.
But I don't think
I can let you in.

I want nothing.
But to have it all, every day, with you.
But I know,
Not a single person
Can get what they want.

"What do you want?" they ask me.
"Nothing."

I promised not to give up on you, and I'm anything but a liar.
