You only wanted my happiness
When I was in despair
I didn't see your struggle
Through my own selfish haze
And I'm sorry

I should have uncovered my eyes
And seen you were there
Arms out and trying to hold me
That's all you wanted
Was to hold me

But I put up a fight
Saying things were all right
I nearly lost my voice
By saying I'm fine
When I was not

I'm still not fine
And I didn't realize the comfort
That you gave until I told you to go
Now I talk less
And cut more

My life a mess
And my heart aches
All I want now
Is your embrace

But I'm not going to get
What I want this time

Am I?
I'm sorry, Levi.
