Leave It To Me

when you crumble
when you fall
when you feel
you've lost it all

there’s the
air of a problem
in your face 
I can see

so just
heed these words
and leave the pieces to me

talk to me
let it out
let it go
let it be

let it
die in you
and forever live in me

and you're fine
for a while
whole again
you can smile!

but on that face
there’s a hint 
of the pain and the fear
and I can't stand to see
that beautiful smile
disappear

here we go again
heed these words
Take me in
leave yourself to me

Just

speak to me
let it go
let it out

set yourself free
and know
without a doubt

that these words have
died in you
and forever live in me

and through it all
I'll never waver
never show
what
all along
I've wanted you to know

it’s like a small pain inside
it burns
and it bleeds

because I know , deep down
these words
you'll never heed

"I love you
be with me"

but

now that you've
let it go 
let it be

you just
walk away
and leave the pain to me

But I'll
never waver 
never show               
never speak again
those words 
you now know

there’s the
hint of the poison on these lips
fed to me
in these words that you give

as I wallow
feeling hollow
gone is the will to live

now I crumble
now I fall
now I feel 
I've lost it all

and I
don't see you around
as my world
crashes down

there’s no one to
pick up the pieces
and what’s left of me
no one to
make me whole again, make me smile 
and now I see

it's because you've

let me go 
let me be
let me fall
made me see

you've 

let me go
let me be
walked away
and left me

to me...
