When you tried to build me up with the wrong words
All it did was kill me
And when you said you trusted in all that I feel
I never quite believed you
And when you tried to help me out
By telling me how we should be
I disagreed
So hold me up
And you should see
You're not supposed to be my enemy
I know your side
I understand
But you can let me feel
It's safe in my hands
You're every word is full of doubt
I've never had a way til now to let it out
If this is how it's gotta be
It will never be easy
You can make this very easy
If you can show me you believe me
You could kill me
You can kill me
Or you can make this very easy
So let me breathe
Just let me be
I'd show you more
Than you could ever hope to see
Intentions are the same I find
Bad, even if they are I still need room to shine
So give it time and give it space
This isn't just a slap across your face
If this is how it's gotta be
I will never speak freely
You can make this very easy
If you can show me you believe me
You could kill me
You can kill me
Or you can make this very easy
Won't you believe in me?
