How To Sit With Me

It's hard to breathe when you can't feel your feet It's easy to see when you're as close to it as me When your lungs are filled with water, and you start breakin' down, Then you can come talk to me That's when you can talk to me But until your skin begins to burn, and your heart begins to yern, just turn around, just turn around Reach deep inside until you feel that pain in your gut Give it a twist and try to walk a line as your mind's in a rut Try to smile as someone passes you bye. If you can say you're fine without breakin' down, Then you can come talk to me That's when it's fine by me But until your skin begins to burn, and your heart begins to yern, When your left beggin for more and you're breakin' down and feelin' ground.... Don't even talk to me Don't you dare acknowledge me Don't you sit next to me Until you're as weak as you can be
