I found solace in your darkness,
I took on your hurt and made it my own.
When you were drowning so was I,
and I always got your head up before mine.

I wore my heart out taking on
every end of the world, every crash and burn.
My love for you became my duty,
I became your wall to hide behind.

and now I crumble under the pressure,
        now I can't find my light.
I cannot drag you from the depths
even though my love has tried.

I hope someday you find a love
that makes you come alive.
