I see the pain in your eyes
Why can’t you let me inside?
Your head’s too crowded for my words
I know you’ve been here before
Take up my time, what’s it worth?
Not getting through to you, I’m not heard
But you don’t really think that I’d get up and leave
You are the company you keep,
Closer than you think
You’ve been holding your breath
Holding on, waiting for something to give
I can feel you slipping, now you’re drifting away
Tear yourself apart so you can make
Another version of the person you hate
I’ll keep on counting
On the chance that one day things will change
We’re throwing caution to the wind
When it’s gone, what will remain?
You’re relentless
And I’m a mess
But it doesn’t mean I care any less
Make up your mind
I can’t take this
I refuse to take blame this time
I can sense the hesitation in your voice
But you never gave yourself a choice
Put up all your walls just to keep me out
You’re feeding on what keeps you down
Don’t know how to help you,
Just wanna understand
So I can help you pull through
Cause I don’t want to lose you this way
Don’t know how to help you,
Just wanna understand
So I can help you pull through
Break the cycle that we’re in
Tell me when you can begin
You’ve been holding your breath
Holding on, waiting for something to give
I can feel you slipping, now you’re drifting away
Tear yourself apart so you can make
Another version of the person you hate
I’ll keep on counting
On the chance that one day things will change
We’re throwing caution to the wind
When it’s gone, what will remain?
