I feel guilty for not holding the weight of the world

But I can't control what little I hold

I see the sky darkening

As you hands try to tighten around

The base of my neck

I'm losing my breath

Bit by bit

You made your way

Made me remember there's nothin' to say

You're in control now

And I can't get up

I'm strugglin' to keep you from catchin' my bluff

You make me feel sweeter

Like I'm no longer a burden

But it makes me feel weaker

When you hold me

I like that you put me first

Like it's me who was hurtin'

I know that the truth hurts

But it washes over me

If I keep on movin'

I won't have time to fall apart

But I can't control what I didn't start

I see distant hands reachin'

They're graspin' at straws

They struggle for air

I sit still and stare

You make me feel sweeter

Like I'm no longer a burden

But it makes me feel weaker

When you hold me

I like that you put me first

Like it's me who was hurtin'

I know that the truth hurts

But it washes over me

You make me feel sweeter

Like I'm no longer a burden

But it makes me feel weaker

When you hold me

I like that you put me first

Like it's me who was hurtin'

I know that the truth hurts

But it washes over me
