I'd be happy if you let me

I whisper to myself

(I know I talk too much)

But it's not half of what I think


Stay on top of me please as you

Hold me down and

Wash me clean and promise me

I wouldn't be

Better off dead


Pretending you don't see

How I've split myself in two

And scattered shattered pieces of myself

Upon the dusty floor

Not feeling what its like to be

Dirty anymore


Only I know

It all won't be all right

And the promises you make

Were just hopes that won't come true

As I hold my head in my hands

The weight of the world is too heavy

For my shoulders


The tears fall faster than I

Can fly away and my dreams

Spin further than I will ever be able to touch

Your kisses burn the skin on my cheek

I know the end to this emptiness

Is too far out of my reach


Tainted, or pure, broken or not

The things of the past cannot be forgot

Don't bother to gather the pieces of me

That I've scattered upon the floor

Let the ocean of hurt wash them away

While you find someone else to promise to

That it will all be okay
