Help Me Get To Me


Take me

Back to the beginning

Tell me

I'm alright

Take me

Back to that night

Tell me

To turn right

Before I turn left

Tell me

Yes

Before 

I say no

Tell me you love me

Before I go

 

Running

In circles

Endless circles

Going nowhere

Fast

You love me

Want it to last

But I turn away

Turn my cheek

Nothing to say

Can't breathe

When you leave

But can't stand it

When you stay

Nowhere to hide

Hear my heart beat

Whisper

For you

In the night

But nothing

Makes me feel alright

Like I thought it would

 

Tell me

I won't be like this forever

When you promised 

We'd stay together

How long

DId you see

When you look at me

What do you see

Lost in these eyes

Of mine

Do you see the lies

Am I wasting both our time

Am I chasing demons

I will never slay

And if asked you

To stay away

Would you

Would you 

 

Can't understand it

Don't know

What to say

Yes or no

Want it all

But nothing at all

I love you

But I hate it too

If I knew

What the truth was

I wouldn't feel this way

I would say stay

And mean it

So tell me

Yes

When I say no

Tell me stay

When I want to go

Because I don't know

I don't know me

Anymore

So help me understand

What I can't reach 

Help me

Get to me
