I never asked for much, just to be loved by you.
for you to look at me the way I look at you.
I give you my 100, and I get back 12 percent.
Things started off with blinding colors, and now all I see is grey.
And I can feel you slipping away.
Should I hold on or just watch as you fall down?
should I stay and cry or hold my breath and move on?
The pressure is crippling, but I know what I have to do.
I think it'd be best if I just said goodbye to you.
And every day, my heart beats slower.
Every day the pain gets worse.
And I'm trying to be strong and keep going on for you.
But it seems to get harder with every single breath I take.
I hold my arms open for you, but who catches me when I collapse?
Should I hold on or just watch as you fall down?
should I stay and cry or hold my breath and move on?
The pressure is crippling, but I know what I have to do.
I think it'd be best if I just said goodbye to you.
I hold out hope that things will get better.
But I wish we could go back to the start.
I want to apologize, but I know it won't matter because you've already made up your heart.
Should I hold on or just watch as you fall down?
should I stay and cry or hold my breath and move on?
The pressure is crippling, but I know what I have to do.
I think it'd be best if I just said goodbye to you.
I think that I need to say goodbye to you.
