Don't


Isn't it enough

For me to say

I can't be enough

What more

Can I give

That I haven't given before

What more

Can I say

That I didn't say

Today

Yesterday

If I needed you

Would you really be there

Or would I be looking for you

Like I used to

 

Don't ask me

If you can't handle

My answer

Don't chase demons

You don't want to face

If I told you

I was ashamed

What could you do

For me

If I cried

A thousand rivers

Rigt at your feet

What could you do

For me

How could someone like you

Save 

Someone like me

 

Take me

As I come

And get gone

When I come undone

Don't want

You to see

Me

When I get like that

When I break my back

Bending backwards

For my sins

We both know

I gave you the very shirt 

Off my back

And if that isn't enough

I have nothing left for you

Rested my very soul

In your palms

And you still

Cry over me

Why can't you see

What that does to me

Why don't you understand

You can't save me

 

Don't 

Just please don't

Not when I can't

And won't

Don't do this

Don't beg

And plead

Don't ask for me

I won't come

Don't come looking

I won't be home

Just please know

I love you so

And if I didn't have to go

I wouldn't

But please

Don't
