My eyes can't close tonight
I'm scared sh**less
This time I'm scared for you
I know you have your own mind
I know you don't care anymore
But I have to care for you
I realize I'm being overprotective
I know I can't understand
But I will try to follow you
I need to know you're safe
I need to know you're still you
And I need to believe you haven't changed
I think you're making a mistake
You're wasting the one life you're given
I don't want you to slip away
I'm scared that you're sinking in quicksand
I'm afraid that I cannot follow
I'm angry I can't protect you
I think I still need to
You seem to be sinking faster, deeper
I can't see you because you've mixed with the mud
And I can't take your hand to pull you out
I can't see through the lies that deceive me
But I know that there's more there
I can't bear to have you slipping away
I hate you hating me
I will always be a friend in the dark
I will always be holding a light for you
And it's up to you when you take it
