And I like looking at pictures of you,
And I don't want those to become a painful memory.
And I want you to get better,
But I can't fix you.

I'm just some teen,
I do dumb shit and cry a lot
I'm not build for this.
I'm not made to be a hero.

And I like hearing your voice,
And I don't want this to become a faint whisper of the past.
And I want us to be happy,
But I can't heal us both.

I'm just some teen,
I don't know who I am.
I don't know how to be a hero,
And I don't think I can.

And I like touching your hands,
And I don't want them to become a cold ghost of our love.
And I want live forever,
But I can't while living for us both.

I'm just some teen.
I don't know what to do.
Standing on the edge.
And holding onto you.
Stopping us both from falling in the abyss.
But I looking at your face,
That I really want to kiss.

And I want us to be better.
I want us to laugh again,
But I'm solving problems for us both,
And I am not strong enough for that.
