lyrics

I just want you to listen

I want to help you find a better judgement for yourself
That you're not the person everyone has made you feel
And god damn I just wish you would see yourself from where i stand
Un-bury you from the inside
I know this concept will be difficult to grasp
Just put your pain aside.
I want to love you until my heart gives out
And we will never know
When I may go
Shit, I've been begging for it for weeks
Lucky me.
And I've told you over and over
That you could try to run
But you just won't shake me
You won't get me to leave
You won't be able to protect me with the distances you've been saying
Because I am still so tied up within you.
Seeing you hurt only makes me want to show you what you can be
But I cannot sit back any longer
And watch you crush your self respect
With every spoken word and threat
And those damn stories on your legs
Like braille that won't ever go away
I see you
And those eyes
Oh god, those fucking eyes are like a never ending sea of green
I'm trapped and I'm drowning
And baby if you can see so well
Then why the hell cant you see me?
It's going to cut deep
And burrow up inside of you
The pain is going to keep hurting
But nothing worth fighting for ever comes easy
Let me take you forever
Broken or however
I will mend you
I will love you like my own flesh and bone
Just take a look at what you made of me
And I would much rather hurt
Knowing that I've tried everything
Then to admit I'm hurting
From letting go so easily
If you give up and let the pain back in
Then he wins and you're still stuck
Waiting for him to say everything I have been.
So walk slowly, babe
And take the time you need
Because happiness is hard to find
And I'll be here
To love you when you're ready.

Is what your living for
Worth dying for
Or am I just dying all alone
You told me to find myself
But I'm so lost in you, I'm so lost in you
Feeling empty in a crowded room
And living was something
That I could never do
Until I started living with, living with you
So let us dance around like we're children
In the ashes of our past
I only wanted to feel wanted
Just like you
And it's so beautiful how the music moves you
Late night, echoing through the hallways
You're caught dancing with the sound waves
And I can't help but stare
And I'm hoping that this song never ends.
