"Under everything, just another human being"
A brain, blood, a heart.
I'm the same as you, aren't I?
I'm not, though, and I wish you'd understand that.


"I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me bleed"

"Did I say that I need you?"
You've become my lifeline, my crutch.
I've no idea who I'd be with you.
The smile on your face and the tears in your eyes are the only things keeping me alive.


"Oh, did I say that I want you?"
No, I didn't.
No, I haven't.
But I should before it's too late.


"Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool, you see..."
A fool --
'a person who acts unwisely and imprudently'.
Yes indeed, I'm a fool for you.


"No one knows this more than me"
Trust me, I know.
I live with this every waking moment.
I'm the only thing stopping the words in my head from releasing into the air and into your heart.  


"Stay with me..."
"Let's just breathe..."
