Say it. Open those flattened, tear-stained lips and blame me For all the ways I've protected you And somehow done you wrong.
Say it. Tell me all about the smallness of my heart And the coldness of my eyes. I can take it.
Say it. Guilt me into remorse for your return To self destruction Like it's somehow My fault.
Say it. And I'll stand or sit here and I'll silently take The full brunt of your tears And rage.
You and I both know There is nothing I can do Because you are blinded by emotion and you seem to enjoy the blackness.
So say it. Stain your cheeks with tears like acid And grow angry when I'm not the one who burns. Spit the words into my face And I'll stand Silent And watch you throw yourself from the edge of reason Knowing I have no power To hold you back.
Say it and we'll go on.
Say it and things will change the way they were always bound to.
