The steps you took to my heart sadly resemble the tracks on your arms you tried to hide from sight,
and I told myself with patience I could surround you with light and we'd live in darkness no more

I've learned circumstances won't change just because love means they should,
and you won't stop killing yourself though you swore to yourself you could.
Please know I can't be there to see the end of it

So convince me once more to call you mine
I've never belonged to anyone, yet when I hear you cry "I need you," I begin to cross that line.
Let's see how far I get this time.

Stop living like you're already dead;
I promise nothing's as bad as gone.
Love yourself and then me, I'll be there as long as I can.
You're in and out and always in my head
