And Then We Became Robots

I Do It Out of Love

by Sierra (I didn't ask Anna for help this time)

This weight is too much to bear.

I cannot fix the world,

no matter how hard I try.

It's hard enough to keep smiles on,

the faces of those I love.

Their pain is my own, my pain is my own.

I am sadly the voice of reason.

Let me carry your pain.

The scars on ur skin, I'll take them all away.

Put me on trial for treason.

The scars that you hold, put them on my own (skin),

you'll be flawless again.

Be reborn.

I am breaking down.

The rock I'm trying be, is slowly eroding.

You're not a burden I swear,

I just can't handle this all on my own.

Your pain, my pain?

I can't tell the difference.

Maybe I just care too much,

but I just want to see you smile, for me.

I'm surrounded by a cloud of darkness.

The pain, I can barely stand;

but if I can take it away from you then it's all worth it!

I shed these tears for you, and the pain you're going through.

This facade, I'll keep it up for you.

I'm not complaining.

I just think you should understand that I really do care.

Sometimes I feel guilty for smiling, when I know that inside you're dying,

so I die a little inside too.

If I can make you smile on a rainy day then I've lived.

If there's a god somewhere, he put me here to be your mule.

You let your emotions out & i'll take the bad ones away.

That's what I'm here to do!

I am breaking down.

The anchor I'm trying be, is rusting away.

You're not a burden I swear,

I can't handle it all this way.

Your pain, my pain?

I can't tell the difference.

Maybe I just care too much,

but I just want to see you smile, just once.

I'm surrounded by a cloud of darkness.

The pain, I can barely stand;

but if I can take it away from you then it's all worth it!

I shed these tears for you, and the pain you're going through.

This facade, I'll keep it up for you.

I don't really care what going on in my own head,

as long as yours is okay.

I'll take the back burner,

cause you're way more important.

I don't care what happens to me,

if you're okay, I'll push for another day.

I am breaking down,

but it doesn't matter at all.

You're not a burden I swear,

I'll suck it up and handle it no matter the cost.

Your pain, my pain?

What's the difference?

Maybe I just care too much,

but I just want to see you smile!

So what of I'm surrounded by a cloud of darkness

and the pain, I can barely stand?

If I can take it away from you then it's all worth it!

I shed all tears for you, and the pain you're going through.

This facade of a rock, I'll keep it up for you.

This facade of a anchor, I'll do it just for you.

If I have to happy for you to be happy,

if I can keep my pain from you,

then I do it all for you!
