Broken

Safe

I can't help that I'm falling apart.
I'm broken inside but it's not your fault.
You're never gonna fix me,
although I wish you could.
I've always been damaged,
I just hid it really good.
I know my words are often soaked in tears.
It's overwhelming for you to hear.
I tried to save you from me
so you wouldn't gain my fears.
But you unraveled every piece of me that I kept inside for years.
Now I'm stuck with explanations that I never practiced putting in to words.
The compassion in your eyes only makes it that much worse.
I've suffered alone all of my life.
I hope you can understand why I held it all inside.
It's going to get worse before it gets better.
But if you give up on me now, I'll stay sick forever.
You took my darkest demons and somehow showed me faith.
As long as you keep trying for me,
I'll always feel safe.
