Am I Wrong?

I told you how I felt, 
but you'd twist it to arguments, 
and now I wonder is it 
worth speaking at all?

I stand here, weighing it up 
respect and distance,
I've been matching what you give, 
but when the lines blur, 
I begin to pull away.

No one's coming to save me, 
I've known that for a while.
But I thought you'd be there 
to break my fall.
Am I wrong?
Your actions say so.
And now, I'm deciding if staying 
is just me falling anyway.
