Hold Me Back

Help me hold it back

Because if I don't say it out loud,
then it won't be true.
It's one of those twisted hush games,
but this thing doesn't amuse.

Pull out my heart and lungs,
because it hurts to breathe.
Holding my breath isn't helping much,
because frankly, it hurts to be.

You tell me it's not my fault,
so I don't have to cry.
Your words, meant to soothe.
Cut me out from the inside.

You say it slow,
like it's supposed to make me feel better.
I hope it salves your conscience,
things you think it'll help, just don't bother.

So I write about the pain, yeah just that.
The pain I feel for what you did.
You can't help it, so I feel helpless.
Maybe more than that just stupid.

But it's what you do to me,
sometimes where I stand seems so far from you.
A few words now and I forget the rest,
Yeah, I miss you too.

Sometimes nothing shines as bright as you.
I take another step closer and gosh
I can't bear to close my eyes.
All those good things inside you make me lost.

I can't believe you really think it makes me feel better?
