Sweetheart, you look a little tired
When did you last eat?
Come in and make yourself right at home
Stay as long as you need
Tell me, is something wrong?
If something's wrong you can count on me
You know I'll take my heart clean apart
If it helps yours beat
It's okay if you can't find the words
Let me take your coat and this weight off of your shoulders
It's okay if you can't catch your breath
You can take the oxygen straight out of my own chest
I know exactly how your rule goes
Put my mask on first
No, I don't want to talk about myself
Tell me where it hurts
I just want to build you up, build you up
'Til you're good as new
And maybe one day, I'll get around
To fixing myself, too
I don't even know where to start
Already tired of trying to recall when it all fell apart
I just want to love you, to love you, to love you, and
I just want to learn how to somehow be loved myself.
What's sad is that I know no one will love me like this
