Doing Better

Someday I won't need this crutch that carries me
And I'll be so complete but these thoughts weigh me down
Cripple my hopes and dreams, please just leave me be
No stay and watch me beg and plead
Tell me what you need, tell me everything

Am I only the air when you need to breathe?

Save me from this long night alone and let me start again
For when I wake up and see you lying next to me
I'm blessed with a cure or a scent that never really fades

It's a vicious cycle, it spins
An eye for an eye, not of the beholder it was in
But things only get worse and I only meant well
At least I thought I did

Am I only the air when you need to breathe?
Am I only a window when you, when you need to see?

It never really fades, it never really fades away
When all you know is nothing at all
And the strings that hold you are bursting undone
You can't pretend that it's right when it's completely wrong
It's wrong

Save me from this long night alone and let me start again
For when I wake up and see you lying next to me
I'm blessed with a cure or a scent that never really fades
I'd hoped it never come to this
A simple slap on the wrist surely would suffice enough
And take me back to the start
