Trying to make sense Of the tears you cried Because I didn’t think Yesterday was so bad But then I realised What was really broken You’re in a relay Between reality and your imagination You’re throwing yourself away Cut back Save yourself I’m doing all I can I don’t think I can take this weight You’re laying your life in my hands Trusting me with your all And I can’t take the pressure Everyone’s eyes are on me They are expecting too much of me Expecting some kind of miracle I never said I was magic I just wanted to help But then I realised What was really broken You’re in a relay Between reality and your imagination You’re throwing yourself away Cut back Save yourself I’m doing all I can Please help me here I’m scared Because I want it so bad I want you to be happy I’m doing all I can And you just won’t help yourself You can’t see You’re hurting me And yourself And everyone that cares But then I have to realise What is really broken You’re not willing to sacrifice anything To make this work I may as well give up But you know I won’t I won’t ever, I don’t ever You’re gonna win something you didn’t even know you were fighting.

I really liked this - it reminded me of someone I was trying to "save" but he wouldn't try to save himself. Eventually I had to stop or lose myself with him. Beautifully written... -Venus |
