You walked away with trembling hands,
I saw the mercy in your eyes.
I was a shadow you couldn’t stand,
A sickness you couldn’t survive.
I tried to hide the weight inside,
But the cracks kept breaking through.
And if you stayed here by my side,
The sickness would’ve swallowed you.
So go, don’t carry my disease,
Don’t drown inside the dark with me.
I was the fever you couldn’t cure,
A poisoned heart you can’t endure.
Better to leave than to decay,
You saved yourself by walking away.
My mind was burning like a flame,
Consuming every breath I’d take.
You tried to love me through the pain,
But love was never strong enough to save.
I wore my sorrow like a mask,
And you kissed me through the lies.
But every touch just pulled you fast,
Into the ruins of my mind.
So go, don’t carry my disease,
Don’t drown inside the dark with me.
I was the fever you couldn’t cure,
A poisoned heart you can’t endure.
Better to leave than to decay,
You saved yourself by walking away.
And I can’t blame you for the distance,
I can’t chain you to this prison.
I was breaking, you were bleeding,
I had nothing left worth keeping.
So go, don’t carry my disease,
Don’t let my madness bring you to your knees.
I was the fever you couldn’t cure,
A haunted soul you can’t endure.
Better to live than waste away,
You saved yourself by walking away.
