Walking out around the woods,
Watching sunsets all alone.
I know you'd be here if you could.
I know you think that you should,
But I don't think I'm good for you.
It's not that I don't love you,
God only knows how much I do.
I can't even go for a day without you,
So I don't know if I'll pull through.
But I know I'm not good or true,
And I know I'll be bad for you.
Be careful, I'm fragile.
Leave me, I'm worthless,
I've had my heart broken before.
Be careful, I'm tired,
Leave me, I'm toxic,
I'm not the man you wish I was.
I think of all the nights we'd share,
Staying up, just lying there.
My body resting next to yours,
Listening to your gentle breaths,
And dreaming of us on distant shores.
Listen, you'll hear them,
The voices that whisper
And tell me I'll not be enough.
Help me, I'm haunted
By the fear of my failures.
And I'm scared that I'll keep messing up.
Be careful, I'm broken,
Heart twisted open
And I don't know if I can love you
The way that I should.
