Songs I Write | III

Dependent

I'm gonna depend on you
Like the house of sticks you are
Until you decide to fall apart
I won't build you back up

I'm gonna depend on you
Light a match in the dark
Until you burn out of my love
And you're alone and dead, so I'll move onto the next

I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna be set free
But your walls came down, so I'm running out
And I'm wild now
And I'm a child now
And I'm found out, I need a place to hide
I need a new face to find
I need some tender loving
And if you aren't providing that anymore
I'll move onto the next door
And I'll depend than be independent
Until you want more

Until you want more

I'm gonna depend on you
'Cause once you were made of brick and stone
But suddenly the wind has blown
And I was blown away by you, so now you're on your own

I'm gonna depend on you
Until you beg me to go
'Cause suddenly I'm not who I was
To you, oh, you, no

I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna be set free
But your walls came down, so I'm running out
And I'm wild now
And I'm a child now
And I'm found out, I need a place to hide
I need a new face to find
I need some tender loving
And if you aren't providing that anymore
I'll move onto the next door
And I'll depend than be independent
Until you want more

Until you want more

I'm gonna depend on him
Because he just makes me laugh somehow, in some way
I don't think I'll ever feel the same
Because my hands are stained of your paint

I'm gonna depend on him
Like I once depended on you
And I was a fool to lean on your walls
Because I won't build you back up
