There Was Me
I want you
To give me
Another piece
I want you
To not hold it in
All those chances
You said were not worth it
You held your breath
And you turned
Looked me in the eyes
And said
You were safer living the lies
You always sold
All those stories
Never told
So I watch you break
Unfold
And there you are
The real you
Give it a break
Give it up
No one has to know
No one is here
It's just you and me
And the stars
The air we breathe
I'm sitting here
I won't leave
No one has to walk away
And I won't say
Anything
If you want silence
I'll break down the barriers
The walls
If that's what you need
And you already know
I will bleed
I will bleed for you
So give yourself a chance
A break
Take a breath
Breathe me in
I'm standing here
I'm so close
I'm so ready to take you on
Whatever pain
Whatever need
You carry
You don't have to do it alone
Not anymore
You were never that far away
Right there
So now that I'm here
Take a look back
Before you leave
And just remember
There was me
