i need you more than i need me,

that's the plain and simple truth you see.

i hate the weakness, hate the need,

yet feed this rot with every deed.

 

you’re the cancer i beg to keep,

my lungs collapse but i won’t weep.

it corrupts the warmth i used to know,

makes bitterness in silence grow.

 

you’re the only light in my endless dark

i cling to you, though it tears me apart.

it twists my thoughts, it warps my core,

turns love to chains i can't ignore.

 

i need you more than i need me,

and that's the cage i'll never flee.

your poison's carved into my bones,

but i’d still die before i die alone.

 

i'd crawl through hell on shattered knees,

'cause without you, there's no me.

my soul dissolves, my spirit dies,

as long as hope lives in your eyes.
