Couldn’t even cleary think
Needed a man to tell me who to be 
I was in one of my lowest phases

Desperately needed a savin’

How do you walk?
When your legs are bound down?
How do you breath?
When you’re afraid you’re gonna drown?

Through all of this strife?
Oh baby, I was afraid
That you’d walk away
But you stayed
