What was I saying

I don't want to imply that it was bad.
but what I've seen is drenched in black.
And I don't want to feel this way for you.
So scrape me out of you, 
and I'll lead you out of me.
I don't want to live this way for you.
Only time will tell how this will end
there's to many scars to heal against
And I don't want to die this way for you.
So take me by my wounded hands
I don't want to be your f$%#ing friend
I don't want to be away from you
so look deep within my eyes 
push in past this frail disguise
I could never be that strong for you
so scrape me out of you and ill
RIP you out of me
I don't want to live this way with you. 
Its chaste in the way that this will end
dejection is my only friend
I don't wanna fight for you.
