All I want
Is to be wrapped
In your love.
Cover me with
Your safety
So I can finally
Rest easy.
Please let me
Hold onto you.
I'm so far from calm
And so close to the edge,
But holding you close
Brings me home again.
You'll never understand
What it's like for me.
I'm the one who cares too much,
Always have been
Always will be.
I love you so deeply
And I love you so
Unconditionally,
That I'm afraid my love
Won't stop
Even when you've had enough.
I sing your name in my sleep
And my hands wander
In search of yours.
Where are you now?
I need you here.
I love you so much,
That I cry because it hurts.
It hurts to know i'm trapped
In your binding curse.
I cry because I know
That I'm a pathetic mess
And you're so perfect
That your picture
Won't leave my head.
You're too good for me
And every one can see
That I'm just a freak
And you're a masterpiece.
I'm just an admirer
Lost in your light.
It's so bright
It keeps me up at night.
Please tell me you love me
The same way I love you
Even if it's a lie
Even if it will never be true.
I love you like an addict
Loves getting high.
I love you like the moon
Loves changing tides.
I know you'll never love me
With the pain that
I love you.
But you could at least try
To pretend that you do.
You haven't even left yet
And I'm drowning in my tears.
My love is so complete
It fills me with fear.
I'm so terrified
That one day you'll be gone.
You'll be happy
And I'll never
Move on.
You'll find a girl
Who'll never love like me.
But at least she's normal
And not an emotional freak.
At least she's pretty
And at least she's sane,
But her love will never
Be as true as mine.
So please let me hold you
While I still have time,
Because I know when I blink
You'll no longer be mine.
You'll be tired of me
And all my insanity.
You'll leave even though
You promised you loved me.
You said you wanted a future
With me.
And you said I'm the first one
To make you believe
That love doesn't have to hurt.
My love will always hurt
Because my heart is fragile.
So please handle with care.
Let it down gently
To avoid further breaking.
What am I saying?
It's already broken
Because I can see the future
And I can see the truth.
I'll never be good enough
For you.
I can see you walk away
As I begin to die.
I can see you letting go
Every time
I close my eyes.
I'm sorry I'm like this,
I know I'm too much.
I know I'm too ****** up
For someone to ever love.
