Faint Rise

I don't know what to say about myself

Now you know I hate the way I behave.

The times weren't good enough for you

But say, sweet heart, what will you do when the day is through?

Don't try to beg and plead for something more than I can be

I won't be deceived.

For all these echoes in my mind saying, "I love you," for the thousandth time

I might as well try.

It's through the wastelands of my mind

I can't seem to find

So, I try and stay wise

If only in your eyes...

Lonely as I may be

I'll tell you all it's fine to leave though I'm in need.

You take my hand and finally say

You know you don't have to run away, but I can't stay.

It's through the wastelands of my mind

I can't seem to find

So, I try and stay wise

If only in your eyes...

Only the hardest times...
