you go quiet when it hits you like you’re trying not to feel it at all and i’ve seen that look before like you’re already about to fall i don’t need you to explain it i can read it in your face you don’t trust anything good you’re just waiting for the ache you don’t have to say it i know how it feels if you feel like going under i’ll keep you above the water it’s okay to be broken but i won’t let you be the martyr do you believe love can save you or is that just something you say when it’s getting hard to stay come closer i’m not asking for forever not turning night into day if you’re breaking let me be the thing you hold onto while it washes away you keep one foot by the doorway like you might have to run even when nothing’s wrong you’re bracing for something to come i’m not trying to be your answer i don’t have it like that but i don’t wanna watch you disappear while i’m staring right back you don’t have to hide it not with me if you feel like going under i’ll keep you above the water it’s okay to be broken but i won’t let you be the martyr do you believe love can save you or is that just something you say when it’s getting hard to stay come closer we don’t need to name it we can leave for another day if you’re falling let me be the thing you reach for on the way maybe it don’t fix it maybe nothing does but it’s better than leaving before it ever was do you believe love can save you i don’t know if that’s true but if you’re going under then come closer I promise, I will always hold onto you
