Just Remind Me
Baby doll
Like the sun
Too much light
I burn
Under your touch
It feels good
Better then I want it to
But I know for sure
I want you
More then I want tomorrow
Can you borrow
A little more sunlight
Take me under
Tonight
Like the sweetest poison
I die
Slowly
Under your body
Like I'm suffocating
It has nothing
To do with you
But I'm drowning
Going under the current
If I didn't love you
So damn much
Maybe I wouldn't wilt
Under your touch
Knowing
What I know
Knowing
I have to go
I would give you
My forever
If it was something
I could secure
For you
If I knew for sure
Who I was
Maybe this
Wouldn't be so confusing
I wouldn't use
And abuse
I wouldn't hurt you
When I hurt too
I wouldn't feel the need
To make you bleed
When I break open
Like I do
But something about you
Makes forgetting so easy
Too easy
Just remind me
To unclench my fists
When you touch me
Just tell me
To slow down
When I pull you under
With nails
Piercing the skin
Just warn me
When I'm getting too far away
To save
To know
Just let me know
When I try to let go
When I say no
Even when it's the best
For me
Just remind me
To breathe
When I forget
