I have everything I'd ever need to feel that I'm of use.
I've even nearly come to terms with all my life's abuse
You rescued me from myself and the harm that I would do
But why do I feel so alone while standing next to you?
You made me many promises, kept every single one
You love me despite seeing the hungry wolf I've become
Encouraged me to chase the fire burning through my lungs
But that fire's nearly out, and I'm stuck in the web I spun
I drew lines from my blood source, not just one, not two, but three
You try to understand, but only offer sympathy
It's always been within your reach to feel happy and free
Someone like you should never love a person like me
You've ignited sparks within me that give me more of a bite
You never raised a hand at me, we never really fight
And in telling me you love me sprouts me wings so I can fly
But this darkness I'm surrounded with will never turn to light
I have everything I'd ever need to feel that I'm of use
Still I know that I am useless, and this path has fallen through
I hope you know the only one I've ever loved is you
Yet I'm sick of being followed by shadows you never knew
