Right


Every crack

Reveals too much

Too deep

I opened up

And it all came bleeding out

Don't look at me

Like that

Don't breathe my name

Like that

I don't want to know

Don't want to feel

How much you need me

How much you love me

 

I can't save you

From breaking down

Not now

Not when it's me

Breaking your heart

I would do anything

Give all I had

To save you

From this

From me

I'd rather die

Then watch you

Suffer for what I've done

And cannot be

It shouldn't be you

It should be me

That loses 

 

You're not wrong

For being right

For leaving me

For walking out

You're not crazy

For being sane enough

To free yourself

From my grip

You were never wrong

For being the only one 

Not afraid

To be right
