every little flaw
makes me want you more
i'm not afraid of your scars
understanding is not a chore
there might be a situation
but it can be fixed
i know that you're broken
can i assist
i've been shattered too
now i'm just shards and bits
but let's put our pieces together
and see if any of them fit
let love be born of this pain
let me be there in the night
you don't have to do anything
we can just lay there in the quiet
i don't want to hurt you
i don't want to be just like the rest
i know you've got a lot of baggage
lemme hold some for just a sec
i've been exactly where you are
i've walked those very gallows
they take all the light
and now life is a maze of shadows
thinking why walk through it
and get more lost and confused
why live a life
when its guaranteed abuse
and i'll tell you why
because i care
i watched as you died
and i felt your despair
i was there when she left
i held your hand from afar
as you forgot yourself
as you tore yourself apart
with the questions
"why wasn't i enough?"
but you always were
"who am i without us?"
listen to me
listen to reason
don't let them fool you
into thinkin'
that you were wrong
for loving with your whole heart
i see how you try
and i love who you are
let me help you see
the person everyone else adores
with all these open windows
why focus on the closed doors
i know that you've been hurting
i can help treat your wounds
i'm unbothered by the bleeding
but i can respect you
and your boundaries
if you don't want me today
just know that i am here
waiting to ease the pain
