I want to give you all of me because you need it more than I do You need my soft hands, my supple heart, my forgiving words So much more than I need myself, my time, my being More than I need my life itself
See, I’d forget myself to help you remember yourself I’d let you steal my heart to fix your own All so you can feel whole again,
but when you don’t need me anymore when my fingers don’t fix your pain and my heart doesn’t sooth over your wounds and you decide you’re better off without me, don’t forget,
you weren’t a chapter in my life You were my whole book And, yeah, you can write yourself a new one With your perfected body becoming the star And you can go, and leave me and start a new novel in your life
but me, see, I can’t move on because in fixing you I broke myself And I can’t even write a new sentence Without every single word being tainted by your breath Let alone start a new books
