I see it, the heaviness on your eyes,
the shyness of your teeth.
Smiling's hard, oh so hard.
I see the little things,
The slumping
When you look away,
How silent we've become...
Hey... I think someday I might love you like that.
That maybe you might send the spark to start a fire in my heart,
But right now?
Right now, I'm frozen and afraid.
I've forgotten how to love.
I need time to heal and recover,
I need to clear the blindness,
I need to get a breath of fresh air, unclouded by emotion,
Feeling, love, regret,
I'm bound too tight.
I need a place to hide for a while,
Left alone to relax.
But I'm afraid to ask you to wait, or just let me go for a while.
Afraid to make your smiles heavier.
Cause your smiles have become a part of my skies.
So please, please, just don't stake too much of your world on me?
I'm not stable enough to stand on.
