Free You
If you really knew
The damage
I could do
Would you find it
Somewhere deep in you
To keep on loving me
As you are now
I stand above
Everything real
In your mind
And as I run out of time
I wonder
How hard I'll hit the ground
When I fall from your pedestal
Who will this hurt more
And who will be the first
To lock the door
Hor far will I go
To get away
To escape
The one thing
The only one
Who's ever loved me right
Who's ever believed in me
How far will I go
To set myself free
From the best thing
That's ever happened to me
You can sit there
All night
And tell me you know me
Till your face turns blue
But I know me
Better then you do
Or ever have
I know you love the good
But I know the bad
Up close and personal
And as you float above me
Loving me desperately
I sink
Deeper and deep inside myself
Determined not to crack
And take you down with me
I take it on my back
I carry it on my own
Alone
Because I never want to hurt you
With my demons
You love me
I know you do
And I know the words you whisper
Are all true
You hold me close
And you beg me
Just to let you in
You whisper please
And I feel it
I feel your heart
So pure and fragile
In my hands
And I wonder
How long it'll be
Before I break everything
Between you and me
Just to free you
