Pushing me away

by katie!   Apr 27, 2005


I cannot just stand by, I cannot watch you slip away
I try my best to make you smile, I can only do so much
I am ignorant and I am selfish, but for you I care
So I collapse into your numbness, long for your touch

You cannot see the way I feel, the feelings I have
Strip me bare, with my thoughts and emotions
I see you how the world see you, hurt and tired
All I can offer you to help is my love and devotion

I was going to end it, I was going to leave this world
You saved me, I realized why I hadn't gone before
Run away from all your troubles, let me face them
Run away from being numb, let me let you feel once more

I can take the feelings that are making you so cold
Force them through my body, through my forsaken mind
Let me help you, because you need to see yourself
Through the eyes that we see you, the eyes you cannot find

Let me take your depression, and store it with mine
Let me fall as you push yourself up and away
Let me cry the tears let me feel numb with myself
Let me go, Let me take the death, while you stay....
