She


I love you more

Then she ever will or could

I need you more

Then she ever could hope to

And we both know

That as far as want goes

I could want you in ways

No one would ever dream of

But it's her

You dream of 

As you lay next to me

You don't even see

What you're doing to me

How you're killing the best of me

You don't even see

Or care

 

I know you

Inside and out

And I know what you need

I know you 

All the way down to the way you breathe

And if you could only open your eyes

And see

What could make you better

You'd realize

Your cure

Rests in these green eyes

Your savior 

Rests between all these lies

I could be your truth

The truth

She never gave you

I could cure all the pain you feel

I could save you

I could make your wildest dreams real

 

You love me

But not enough to stop hurting me

You could have every piece 

I offer it to you every night

There's only so much I can do

To rescue you

And sometimes

When we're all alone

It feels close to heaven

And you kiss me

Like you've never tasted love before

It's unlike anything I've ever known

And I need it

 

I'd give you anything

Every part of me

If you so desired it

I'd follow you to the ends of this world

I'd kiss every bleeding wound

Fix any hurt

I'd love you forever

If you'd just let me in

And I feel it

We're one more breath away

Just a whisper away from winning

We could have it all

We could light this world up

Burn it to the very ground

Without a sound

We could save each other

And you know you can trust me

 

But I can't have you

If she already holds you

I can't love you right

If she keeps holding on

I can't give you everything you need

If she's still haunting your every dream

I can't be

What we both know I can be to you

If she still controls your heart

So if you want to keep me

You have to give her up

Befcause nothing would kill me more

Then for her to win 

When we both know

No one deserves you more

Then me
