I saw you in your chair
But I knew better, I knew you weren't really there
Cause I heard you talking in your sleep
Dreaming "things would be better if only you weren't so weak"
I know the pain of feeling broken is hard to overcome
And when you get too far
It's hard to know what is real and what is not
You want to close your eyes forever, the world's better off
You want to fade away
But please don't fade away
There's a saying, I thought it was true
It goes "Be like the people around who take care of you"
And so I followed, I thought it was right
And I lost myself as I watched them go into the light
So if you say that I lack substance, I'd probably agree
Cause it's a little hard to grow as large
When you forgot to plant the seeds
And you know time keeps marching onwards, with or without us
So if you need me to
I will wait for you
