i cannot be your anti depressant. i cannot transform into a warm blanket every time you feel the cold. i cannot seep into your veins and rest underneath your scarred skin. not all promises can be kept and i am only trying to speak the truth. try to understand i have my own demons to tame. don't make your happiness so dependent on my rise out of bed in the morning. don't rely so much on this frail veiled soul to mend each broken piece of yours while i'm still only trying to kick myself out of my own shark infested seas. the speaking of pure fantasy only assures me, i will soon be suffocated by your adding of more water. you cannot intend on making me your hero. you cannot be fixed by these clumsy hands that can't always be there in time to hold yours. so please. i am only human. you have to save yourself. because i can never be your anti depressant.

anti depressant
i cannot be your anti depressant. i cannot transform into a warm blanket every time you feel the cold. i cannot seep into your veins and rest underneath your scarred skin. not all promises can be kept and i am only trying to speak the truth. try to understand i have my own demons to tame. don't make your happiness so dependent on my rise out of bed in the morning. don't rely so much on this frail veiled soul to mend each broken piece of yours while i'm still only trying to kick myself out of my own shark infested seas. the speaking of pure fantasy only assures me, i will soon be suffocated by your adding of more water. you cannot intend on making me your hero. you cannot be fixed by these clumsy hands that can't always be there in time to hold yours. so please. i am only human. you have to save yourself. because i can never be your anti depressant.
