Streetlight Manifesto

She's had a bad time with all that
She's had a pretty shitty life, herself
I see her cry and I want to wipe the tears away
But all I can do is watch as her fears hold sway
and I kill myself a million times inside
a moonlit knife flashing a million times alive
Steal the breath from your lungs in a kiss
a million times whispered, a million times reminisced
It all gets to me daily, and I see the risk
a million times squandered, and now I'm getting pissed

I know I'm not good enough to save her soul
I don't believe I ever will be
But It's better to die holding someone up
than hunched and broken, crying on one knee
