My Worthless Words

I’d take a bullet for you This world is wicked and forbidding Patience is merely a virtue I’m sick of the useless bidding Ease the burn, Don’t be so stern You’re out of my league – where do you hide? I’d bleed for you – it’s been so long Since you let me see what’s really on the inside You’re as precious as a familiar song You take my words as if they are worthless I began to describe this unbearable distress Feeling like a gracious wreck I’ve earned a success’s peck I’ve been awakened by inspiration’s igniting light Give me a reason to believe with all my might You look so precious in your pain Your sorrow is like continuous rain Doubts are engrained in my cranium I’m insane the moment you made me feel numb Descending into the shadows of the deep Disappearing into the caves of the unknown I’d give up my life for you – yeah, you know that I’d take a bullet for you too – I ain’t perfect, But don’t you dare use me as a worthless doormat Don’t neglect your intellect – your words, they infect… What do you expect me to be like? Should I accept you to be exact? You’re a majestic mountain for me to boldly hike Is our everlasting love a sheer fact? You’re the air I breathe – so, stop being a tease I’m going crazy – put me at ease Self-control is what I lack…so please… Forgive me and my worthless words You’re as beautiful as a billion birds Excuse me, but I need you back in my life I can’t just embrace this peaceless strife Mend the scars Look up at the stars Kiss me before you leave Don’t watch me grieve
