Sometimes I need to get a little weight off my shoulders, too

But I can't express it enough for you to hear me

Sometimes I wish you just knew

Or if you didn't, that you were just here to hold me

When your world crashes, so does mine

But if the topic of your plane crash occurs

Before I have the chance to mention mine

I shove it aside, and bury all the debris

Just so you can swim to the surface

While I inhale the water for you

There are times when I wish I could be a little selfish

Just talk about myself, and how much pain I'm in

Or how I'm terrified of you leaving me in the dust

But I can't mention that

Because as far as you're aware of

You've got more weight on your shoulders than I do

It's a scream in a sound-proof room, I know

I just had to throw it out there

Like maybe I'll eventually buy all this crap I'm telling you

I'm over it, I've moved on, things are better, really...

Deep down I know it's not true

But for now, it's a warm blanket sheltering me

For two hours a night, I get to pretend I'm okay

And then we hang up, and I... crash

So deep, so fast, so unreal

For now, I'll keep quiet

But if you ever read this, I just want you to know

That if you did drive over here in the middle of the night

I'd be okay with that

Just let me cry on your shoulder while you sleep
