What Can I Do To Make You See

A month and a day Since my heart was so happy it vomited blood So, here, please take this but don't break it, It's as fragile as porcelain china, maybe more Because it still distrusts everyone I meet Even when you hold it, it sometimes becomes sore It's easy to break, easy to drop But hard to get into, and hard to open Can I get a plague from loving you too much? If I can, I think I've gotten it already But then again, isn't love a plague itself? Rip my heart out, please. Watch it beat slowly as it dies, for you. If I don't hear your heart beat, then you're not close enough to me. What can I do to make you see? That no matter how much I try  I'm not good enough for you. What can I do to make you see? Through the facade that hides my emotions What can I do to make you see? That when I say one thing Sometimes it's really the other. Can I get a plague from loving you too much? I think I can. I think I have. The only cure I have is you. So I'll die slowly As you're absence becomes known to me Give me my cure Save me from myself, the other me. She's got a knife in our hand I've got the phone in the other Which one do I use? Help me! What can I do to make you see? That I'm not always alright That behind the smile I'm crying inside. What can I do to make you see? That I need you to save me from myself What can I do to make you see? That in your arms I'm escaping reality What can I do to make you see? The other side of me
