Untitled Part 59

talks until midnight

you know I talk too much

but you put up with me anyway

you know I always worry

about being good enough

but you told me you'd always stay

and here I am beside you

if I could I would never let go

I don't want to leave you here

I'm afraid of being all alone

but I'll call every night

and ask you about your day

I hope it was good

I hope you're okay

I'll wish I was there holding onto you

but I can't, so all I can say is "I miss you"

tell me all your bad jokes

the kind that make me laugh

I could listen to you all day

I can't bear to see you sad

lean on me, we'll share the weight

here I am beside you

if I could I would never let go

I don't want to leave you here

I'm afraid of being all alone

but I'll call every night

and ask you about your day

I hope it was good

I hope you're okay

I'll wish I was there holding onto you

but I can't, so all I can say is "I miss you"

you've seen the worst parts of me

but still you tell me

I'm here for a reason

when I've lost grip on reality

you make me believe in myself

even when I can't feel a thing

for the first time in such a long time

I feel happy

here I am beside you

in a little bit I'll have to let go

I don't want to leave you here

I'm afraid of being all alone

but I'll call every night

and ask you about your day

I hope it was good

I hope you're okay

I'll wish I was there holding onto you

but I can't, so all I can say is "I miss you"
