Avoiding all the darkness within me, just to be apart of your light
Wishing that you’ll shine so bright on us both, you won’t even catch it
Every waking bone in my body telling me that THIS is what I’ve been waiting for
My brain doesn’t know how to manage the million dopamine rushes I get around you
Feelings turn to thoughts…
Thoughts of you leaving..
Thoughts of you seeing the darkness and being so afraid you just can’t seem to grasp the thought
For you have never seen pitch black quite this dark…
You have always seen a small light at the end of the tunnel
And even though I still see that light through the darkness…
That same darkness is blinding you.
It’s scaring you, it’s building a home in your subconscious
While screaming RUN!
Every time I pull you in to whisk you away, the darkness reminds you that it doesn’t want light
Only the look in my eyes tells you different
It says “SAVE ME”
It says “DON’T GO”
It says “I LOVE YOU”
It says “I CAN’T BREATHE WITHOUT YOU”
But the look doesn’t matter
Cause that’s one too many thoughts to deal with while trying to shine a light through
Too many things happening at once
And so, you’ll leave thinking your light isn’t strong enough for the both of us…
Failing to realize that light has been the same one I been reaching for,
while traveling years down this dark tunnel.
