I'm the sick one
The one who must find a better way of life
I have so many more opportunities
And I'm wasting it all away.

But when the lights are off
And it's just us two
The words I say
You don't seem to hate.

I should get a job
Nobody wants to hire a body that was used as a body
Such a talent wasted away
She could have gone somewhere in life.

But when we're alone
My body on yours
The actions are made
I don't hear you complain.

I need to keep that to myself
Nobody wants to hear about it
I need you to stay quiet
You don't need to say how you make ends meet.

But when you ask for more
of me
of my body
of my will,

I won't bring up what you've said
And it sure doesn't matter then
I am above the water
And this is what keeps me afloat.
