letra de i wish this was still about you - dear me

[verse: dear me, tender topic]
i was watching you from the bed pretending to be asleep
i know that you’ve been crying
your eyes are still red along with the flush of your cheeks
your hair was pulled back in that way i like
the way you do just before you wash it
you wouldn’t look my way
but i could hear your soft breaths as you moved, stifling a sniffle or two
i know sometimes you think i don’t care about you
and sometimes you just take all that you can take and you break down
i watched you put on that big t-shirt you wear to bed and slip your bra off underneath
’cause, if you leave it on, you won’t be able to sleep
i watched you take off your pants and one leg got stuck on your foot
in your utter misplaced frustration, you fell to your knees, nearly sobbing
looking like you were about to burst
i watched you inhale a big gulp and hold it
then exhale, shaking your head
i could almost hear you say, “snap out of it!”
you relaxed just a little and got up
put your clothes in the hamper and turn the light off
i could feel how tense you were
when you finally crawled into bed, hugging that pillow and sighing
you weren’t even close to me
i know you think somehow you don’t deserve me (call to me)
and that you don’t need to concern me with your personal traumas
that if you lay it all on me, i’ll leave
so i rolled over and put my hands around your waist
i pulled you into me and i held you (call to me)
i wanted you to feel my love
i felt you relax for a brief second before the sobs ensued
sometimes the sadness overtakes you, i know that now
even as you cried and i didn’t know why
i just laid there and held on to you (me)
as your hand gripped mine while you rode the horror story of depression like a bad dream you didn’t want to burden me with it
but i am here to help you carry it
you try to be so strong out there in life
but when you come home you’re so frail
you come home to me so that i can rebuild the broken pieces
when finally the shakes die down and you are almost asleep
i always think, “i can’t ever let someone else do this for you (shakes)
i can’t ever let somebody else love you (die)
even though you don’t believe that anyone can (down)
this job was meant for me and only me”
[chorus: tender topic]
for me
the shakes die down

- dear me
