Don't Leave Me

I know you hurt,
And I know you still want to hold on.
But beautiful girl, I need some space,
And I also know you sing that suicide song.

I would never let you fall,
But if I have, I am obviously a lousy friend.
If you ever need someone just give me a call,
But beautiful girl, I need to get better first.

I know we made that promise,
I remember saying I would never let go of your hand.
But something went wrong,
And I feel our friendship is being washed away because it was written in sand.

I have always listened to you,
And your pain is as real as mine.
I know your skies are no longer a perfect blue,
And beautiful girl, your pain was never a lie.

I'm sorry my pain has dirtied your soul,
But you never said you wouldn't listen to me.
I don't want to let you go; I just need a break from everyone else's pain,
And beautiful girl, please believe me when I say instead of me, I want you to be free.

I would never push you too far away,
Because you are one of the most precious things in the world to me.
I may have let your hand go, but in my heart you will stay.
And I'm sorry I made you cry.

You were helping me,
Until I took on your pain, and Tami's too.
The reason I can't take anyone's pain on anymore is because it causes me too much hurt,
And I know that black is just the true, hurting you.

I never said I didn't want you,
I have always loved your unique personality.
There are other people I need some space from too,
And our friendship is still there but our hands are just separated for now.

I don't want to cause you to cry,
I never wanted that to happen to such a beautiful soul.
I would never post my problems onto you and blame you?? I would never try.
Just so you know beautiful girl, your pain is so true it hurts me.

What can I do to take that shame I brought you away?
I can tell you that you're definitely not the problem, and definitely not to blame.
I don't want to hurt you anymore,
And please don't let our friendship go up in one flame.

I have bled for you so many times,
I have scars as the proof.
Don't bleed for my beautiful girl, because I bleed enough for myself,
And please don't feel worthless because of me.

Don't speak that word that breaks so many strong friendships,
That word shall not be spoken till one of us is dead.
Please remember that I'll love you always,
And know that your beautiful words are in my heart and head.
