I Can't Make You Survive

by The Angel of Secrets   Jun 18, 2008


I don't understand what you want from me, what you need,
I just know that hurting yourself is not helping anyone.
Don't you see that if you bleed, I bleed?
And I'm not going to leave you, not going to run.

I don't care how much you yell at me, what you say,
It doesn't even hit me, I closed my ears.
Whatever you do, I still want to stay,
My shoulder is here, and I'll wipe your tears.

You are the only one I've ever trusted,
The only one I'd do this for.
Even when I saw your blood, I was never disgusted,
And I'll wipe it off the floor, even though I know there's more.

I know you don't show your love like other people do,
And I know you never will.
But that helpless scream, is all I need from you,
No matter the pain, I'll love you still.

You say you hate me, and you may think so,
But I love you more than I love this life.
You may not realize, may not know,
But I love no matter how you use the knife.

I'll give you everything, just in case,
Perhaps it'll come to use one day.
I'll still do anything to put a smile on your face,
For you, I'll believe in God, I'll pray.

This burning fire, it kills me slowly from within,
I can feel it growling, eating me alive.
I can never love you enough, I'll never win,
I can't make you survive.
