My demons have arrived
They are beating down my door

You told me our demons could play
And like a fool
I believed you

I should have known what would happen

I should have known all my demons would do
Is bring yours down to my level.

I see you crumbling in front of me

I hear the words coming out of your mouth
That match the words in my mind

The ones I'm too afraid to speak.

And I understand
Implicitly
That this is
On some level
My fault.

I knew you were hurting
And I tried to be here for you.

But you tried to do the same for me
And it's too late
To save me.

All I've done is brought you down.

Every day
I'll have to live with
What I've done to you.

All I've ever wanted to do
Is help.

But all I do is hurt.

I can't keep going this way.

I don't deserve to be here.

You deserve the world;
You deserve so much.

I'm so sorry.
For everything.

Because my demons have arrived.
They're beating down my door.
And I'm going with them.
