we're too hard on ourselves
the pain never goes away
the scars have thickened til our mouths shut
a gasp of air, a single sound, nothing leaves my tongue
i want to put out the fire but i'm afraid i'll make it worse
or that we'll get caught up in it and wither away
but i just want everything to be okay
i know how troubled i am
i'm sorry to be born this way
and this seems like a fever dream
but you and me, our connection's real
and i want to let you in
but i'm scared that if i lose you
i'll dig myself a grave
and the cycle continues
and i don't think i can handle that again
especially when you were finally the real thing
you are
i havent told you yet but
i love you
