I want to be your shadow
but you’re losing light
I want to be the only one
who tucks you in at night
I want to be the dream
when all you do is sleep
I want to be the first thing
that you’d ever want to keep
And I know it’s not the same
and I know this is no game
’cause I’m still breathing
And I know it’s not the end
and I know this is no trend
’cause you’re still bleeding
and I’m the one who cut you
yes, I’m the one who cut you
and you’ll never forgive…
me, I can’t be your shoulder
when you need to lean
and I can’t be your water
when you need to get clean
but I will be the one who loves you
after all’s been said and done
and I will be the one to hold you
in a world without a sun
but I know it’s not the same
and I know this is no game
’cause I’m still breathing
but I know it’s not the end
and I know that it’s no trend
’cause you’re still bleeding
and I’m the one who cut you
yes, I’m the one who cut you
and I hope that you’ll forgive…
me, I will treat you right
if you give me one more chance
and I will be your precious feet
if you give me one more dance
and I will give you all of me
after life won’t let me be
and I’ll be your every need
if you’ll only let me bleed…
even though it’s not the same
and you think that it’s a game
I’m still here breathing
and I know it’s not the end
all our colors need to blend
but you’re still bleeding
and I’m the one who cut you
yes, I’m the one who cut you
and I hope that you’ll forgive… me.
and let me stitch you up again.
