Sweeter

I feel guilty
 For not holding the weight of the world
 But I can't control
 What little I hold
 I see the sky darkening
 As your hands try to tighten around
 The base of my neck
 I'm losing my breath
 Bit by bit
 You made your way
 Made me remember there's nothing to say
 You're in control now
 And I can't get up
 I'm struggling to keep you from catchin' my bluff
 You make me feel sweeter
 Like I'm no longer a burden
 But it makes me feel weaker when you hold me
 I like that you put me first
 Like it's me who was hurting
 I know that the truth hurts
 But it washes over me
 If I keep on moving
 I won't have time to fall apart
 But I can't control what I didn't start
 I see distant hands reaching
 They're grasping at straws
 They struggle for air
 I sit still and stare
 You make me feel sweeter
 Like I'm no longer a burden
 But it makes me feel weaker when you hold me
 I like that you put me first
 Like it's me who was hurting
 I know that the truth hurts
 But it washes over me
 You make me feel sweeter
 Like I'm no longer a burden
 But it makes me feel weaker when you hold me
 I like that you put me first
 Like it's me who was hurting
 I know that the truth hurts
 But it washes over me
