a tender glimpse beneath the surface
β i'll always protect you. β
β i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. β
β i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. β
β i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. β
β i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't β
β there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? β
β i did this for you. no one else. β
β i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. β
β i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to youβhow much i have to lay bareβbefore you realize how much you're taking. β
β i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. β
β i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. β
β i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. β
β you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... β
β you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. β
β i'm not angry, i'm just scared. β
β i know you love me, but do you like me? β
β do you think i'm a good person? β
β do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. β
β tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. β
β you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. β
β i only sleep well when you're next to me. β
β i don't want an apology i just want to understand. β
β i could actually use a hug right now. β
β i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. β
β i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. β
β you always seem to know what i need. β
β you always seem to know just what i need to hear. β
β i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. β
β you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. β
β seems like i always want you around when everything feels all fucked up. guess that means something. β
