Helping on getting to the top
But hardly holding on
These ropes are more like strings
I've been going back onwards
The promises are worse
Like I never meant a thing
Trying not to give in to the shove
As the push takes off the gloves
And beats me to the floor
This train's coming off its rails
The ship is set to sail
I'm waiting by the shore
I'd rather be cold in bed with her
Than warm by myself
I could do this alone
But I'd prefer it
If I had her help
She has her faith
And I have this way
Of putting it down
But the truth is I'm scared
When I need her there
She won't be around
I need her now


Quiet with the patience of a saint
As she does her best
To wait for miracles to intervene

I scored delicate at best
As I try hard to contest
Against the way that I have been



Why is my head not on my side?
There's a ghost in place of pride
And it just went through the wall
Just like me it needs a fix
Please replace my nerves with bricks
So I won't feel a thing at all
I'd rather be half of something good
Than on my own whole life
So I'm gray





Always losing my mind on something true
When staying sane for what's fake




She's got her ideals
And I've got this real fear
That I don't match up












I would fall
Cause she says she's sure
That I'm more than enough
I just wish I could trust
I'd rather ignore the odds
Than know that I've made a safe bet
I'd forgive the loss if she has to go
But I won't forget
That she has to go
She has this knack of keeping me intact when I start to come loose
Though I'm not convinced that heaven exists, she's almost the proof
If only she knew
If only she knew
