Don't stand too close
My brain will fire warning signs
Alerting me and targeting you as a leech

Don't open your heart,
Don't pour it all out
You've given me everything but I can barely even keep myself stable
I'm afraid that if I fall we will both break

I wanted to row away, watch the sun set beyond the distant horizon over the dark lake
Just another story fading away
But I kept coming back again and again and again

Hooked on your validation
I think I'm the leech
And I'm afraid to let go
Because when I do, I know
I'll leave you bleeding
