I decided to take a stand After fighting it off, Then after running. Much good it did me In either case Because I'm back where I started from: Terrified of feeling, Of caring, Loving. I don't want to, And yet I always do And it's killing me Softly, slowly, harshly Even as it breathes life into me. Do you even know What you do to me? Do you suspect, Though I tell you everything's okay? Damn this heart of mine That I can't help but exist, Because fighting, running, And standing is only tearing me To pieces.

In either case
Because I'm back where I started from:
Terrified of feeling,
Of caring,
Loving.
I don't want to,
And yet I always do
And it's killing me
Softly, slowly, harshly
Even as it breathes life into me.
Do you even know
What you do to me?
Do you suspect,
Though I tell you everything's okay?
Damn this heart of mine
That I can't help but exist,
Because fighting, running,
And standing is only tearing me
To pieces.
