By Saving You, I Save Myself

I look at those pale, shallow eyes

And I feel mine start to mist

To see so much pain take the the form of tears

On the same cheek I've kissed

So tenderly in the past

You told me about your thoughts

I couldn't make it if you did

I've never felt this way before

More and more like a kid

In a candy shop with a $50 bill

You can get through this

Darling, you'll soon see

Even though you feel worthless

You're worth everything to me

And you couldn't be more wrong

I swore I'd never say that

The fact that you were wrong

But it kills every single time

the hatred you have for yourself is so strong

It brings that razor to your wrist

Breakdown unto me

I can take it

You have my loyalty and strength

And while I can't say I'm the hardest hit

I can say I care too much to see you like this
