give me space to breath
I have an overactive brain
I need a place to relax
to lay down and not think
if I think...I won't be sane
don't leave me sitting alone
there are things that will crawl in
eating my every thought and emotion
I'd be eaten from the bone
in a matter of minutes
don't leave me alone
don't leave me to sit and think
about the bad thoughts blazing under my skin
things that make my heart swell
before it sinks
being beaten down into my chest
makes my whole body quake
forcing me to curl onto my bed
never wanting to sleep
never wanting to wake
I want company
I want a friend
all these people you see are fake
they smile at me and talk to me
but it's a cruel facade, my curse
I can't talk to any of them
they wouldn't understand
and only make me worse
stay and distract my wondering mind
distract me from the things that make me
as crazy as I feel
when I've been confined
if you're here
and believe my lies
buying into my smile
allowing me to pretend
I never cry
maybe the lies will be true
and the smile genuine
but for now
just you
just me
just stay here
keep me company
but give me room
