6:17 P.M.
I don�t want to be the air you breathe
But give me the sun and moon
I don�t want to be the skin you�re beneath
When each day seems to end too soon
I hold the last remaining ticket
To this fighting roller coaster ride
Like a scab, I want to pick it
Like a child, I run and hide
Through the ups and downs
Can you hear my heartstrings
You say you want me around
Your words stimulate beautiful things
I am only a response to you
I respond to your every move
Hoping to pull you through
Wanting to heal your hidden wounds
I want to make you complete
But I can�t promise to always stay
Was it fate that caused us to meet
You still wonder about it today
You say I am your release
The only peace you truly have
I may aim to please
But you have nothing tangible to grab
I could help you up
So afraid to kick you while you're down
I could never give you enough
But still, I lift you up off the ground
I should just leave
I should walk away
Not wanting you to grieve
Not knowing exactly what to say
You are in my heart
You are close to me
I feel so lost in the dark
Still wanting to be the girl you needed me to be
