Sweeter

I feel guilty 
For not holding the weight of the world 
But I can’t control
What little I hold

I see the sky darkening
As your hands try to tighten around
The base of my neck
I’m losing my breath

Bit by bit 
You made your way
Made me remember there’s nothing to say
You’re in control now and I can’t get up
I’m struggling to keep you from catching my bluff

You make me feel sweeter
Like I’m no longer a burden
But it makes me feel weaker 
When you hold me
I like that you put me first
Like it’s me who was hurting
I know that the truth hurts 
But it washes over me

If I keep on moving 
I won’t have time to fall apart
But I can’t control
What I didn’t start

I see distant hands reaching
They’re grasping at straws
They struggle for air
I sit still and stare

You make me feel sweeter
Like I’m no longer a burden
But it makes me feel weaker 
When you hold me
I like that you put me first
Like it’s me who was hurting
I know that the truth hurts 
But it washes over me

You make me feel sweeter
Like I’m no longer a burden
But it makes me feel weaker 
When you hold me
I like that you put me first
Like it’s me who was hurting
I know that the truth hurts 
But it washes over me
