If I write something shallow,
would you read it?
If I made sure not to
go deep
If I left out all the
ways that you hurt me
And my heart was still yours
to keep
If I kept it all without
feeling And required nothing from you
If it freely flowed without ending
Like all the things that I
poured into you
Would you see me if I
stayed on the surface?
Would you love me if I
never broke?
Would I be easier to hold
on to
If I never required a rope?
Why don't you see me
when I'm bleeding?
Why don't you stay when I'm
falling apart?
You just keep taking pieces
of me They just never land
in your heart
Would you suddenly see it as
worthy Of your attention or of
your time If it never asked
anything of you But keeps giving
you all that was mine?
If I keep it all on
the surface And don't require you
to make space No sacrifice and
no interruptions Sugar to cover the
bitter taste Would you see me
if I stayed on the surface?
Would you love me if I
never broke?
Would I be easier to hold
on to
If I never required a rope?
Why don't you see me
when I'm bleeding?
Why don't you stay when I'm
falling apart?
You just keep taking pieces
of me
They just never land in your
heart
Maybe I made myself easy to
lose So I wouldn't be too
much to hold I kept shrinking
into the silence 'Til I saw
what it cost my soul
Would you see me if I
stayed on the surface?
Would you love me if I
never broke?
Would I be easier to hold
on to If I never required
a rope?
Why don't you see
me when I'm bleeding?
Why don't you stay when I'm
falling apart?
You just keep taking pieces
of me
They just never land in your
heart
They just never land in your
heart
They just never land in your
heart
I need a hero too
