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

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."

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.
