Lifeline
Walk beside me through the struggle of life
My lifeline as you claim to be as I battle my demons, face my darkness,
But you, you my love pry me out of my shell, you make me exposed
But you, you my love when it is our turn, you shy away.
Your addictions, your demons are your secrets.
I'm pushing your boundaries of privacy as you push me away
I thought we were companions, partners in crime.
But you, you my love, walk alone
Your choice as I am refused choices,
now reduced to a ball of worry and tears, and you can't deal
But my love, but, I am right here.
Your lifeline as I claim to be.
