Give me a reason

by Naomi   Aug 2, 2016


I cant' be your knight in shinning armor anymore
I can't fight for you and win your battles
I can't save a heart that will not try
But don't say that I never loved you
Because we both know that's a lie

I can't defend everyone for you anymore
I can't be your voice or the one who stands your ground
I can't tell you all the reasons to fight for what you want
When you clearly don't want me around

I can't help you fight away your demons
And I can't chase away your past
It's you that has to love yourself
Because eventually my strength will not last

I cannot live your life in the shadows
By always being your beacon of hope
I cannot fight for you even though I love you
It is clear than one of us needs to elope

I'm sorry but I won't be here forever
One day I will leave and where will you be
I am not your voice and I am not your heart
And I feel I have already taken all of you
And I am not being the real me

I do love you very much
But I need to see you fight for your heart
I am loosing faith on you and your excuses
And you don't see that I have been here since the very start

I cannot rely on little moments of happiness
For in the end I know your weakness chasses them away
And I want to have a future with you in my arms
But I know you will not let the good you stay

I cannot live this fantasy anymore
Always praying the real you will come back
And I don't know if you even love me anymore
There are just so many emotions you seem to lack

I can't listen to your lies and you anymore
I need more than just a glass half filled
And I can't stay when I love you with all I have
Because if I do I feel my heart will be killed

I have stuck around and waited for so long
But I see now that you will not fight
And I know I am just hoping for the impossible
Waiting for one more lonely night

I just feel more lately that I have lost you
Or maybe its that I lost you so long ago
But I mean what the hell are we both doing
Please tell me because I don't know
But I can't be your queen of hearts
I cannot stand and protect your shrine
I love you to much to see you not fight for yourself
And with you all I do is loose time

I cannot be your protector on this earth
I cant lead your ships to the shore
I cannot say that I will wait for you forever
When I don't even know what we are anymore

So I cannot tell you what to do
And I can't explain how you should live your life
All I will say is that I love you
And I all ever wanted was to be your wife
