Keep Me
Color me in
Bend me backwards
In half
Take what's left
And make it into
What you want me to be
You talk
And I hear the same lines
You break my heart
Without even knowing it
You used to make me dance
With one look
And now I'm sinking
Trying to be
Everything you need
Putting the brakes on
Trying a new skin on
I'm wrong
You're right
This can't be how it is
Can't be alright
You and me
Used to be on the same page
And now
I'm chasing old dreams
Down the old tunnels
Fighting for old memories
My baby doll
We had it all
You've got my heart
Right in your hand
You don't get it
Can't understand
How easy it is
To break it
But the break
You know
Is not the same
As before
Back when I was putting it
All on the line
Turn my cheek
Say I was fine
But I'm not fine
I'm not okay
You can have me
But if you love me
For what I am
You can have all of me
If you can handle
Every part and piece
You can keep me
On the condition
You make it through
The tension
If you can find me
Buried under all these flaws
If you can love me
Through it all
Then you can keep me
