Living is easy with eyes tightly shut
A suit of armor all around
Walls built ten feet high
Where no one can touch me, hurt me, destroy me

It's hard to remember the people we used to be
You once told me that I'm beautiful
But in every silver lining, there is a cloud
I'm not perfect, I'm hardly worth it

Now you tell me I'm a victim
Salvation is just within my reach
All I have to do is try harder
It isn't working, it isn't working...

Turn around and walk away
Don't look back, don't go astray
There's nothing left here that you want to see
The things I've done are far too ugly

You push me, You make me nervous
The sound of your voice makes it harder for me to breathe
Go easy, don't rush me
Do I deserve any of this at all?

I can't fight this anymore
The darkness is creeping in
Just hold me and keep me calm
Just stay with me a little while longer

I can't fight you anymore
I'll take what I can get
Even if you fake this
Even if you hurt me in the end
I'll take what I can get...
For G.
