He holds me
But he's too weak
I'd hold myself
But I'm too beat

He grabs for me
But he lets go
I clung to him
I should have known

He loves me
But he doesn't know how
He likes to joke
But I need a saviour now

I can't just keep smiling
the way he wants me to
Because every time I smile
the tears flood alongside too
and I wish that I felt
crying was okay to do
But his fear of emotion
makes it so impossible to be blue

I love you
But I don't know how
to stay with you
Because I need to save myself somehow
