Beside the Others

How could she be with a wretch like me?
I'm a broken shell of a man that never was
I'd trade all that we've made
Just for one more date with destruction

I'm not being fair to you, I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts to see her face sittin on my shelf
Beside the others

You're the cutest thing I've seen
You're all a man could need but I'm lifeless
I need to tell you, no, I just can't let her go
'Cause I'm selfish, so selfish

I'm not being fair to you, I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts to see her face sittin' on my shelf
Beside the others

If I could tell you one thing
I think that you should know
I'm not afraid to love you, just of lettin go

If love and comfort are the same thing
Then why can't I ever find my way out?
I wanna say we're strong, we can carry on
But I'm draggin you down, ya, I'm bringin you down
I'm draggin you down with me

I'm not being fair to you, I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts me to see her face sittin on my shelf
Beside the others

If I could tell you one thing
I think that you should know
I'm not afraid to love you, just of lettin go
Just of lettin go, just of lettin go
