Just help me stay alive
How good your words they were to me
Help me see another side
Your words mean so much more to me

Thoughts that come and go, just like the rain
Sometimes I wanna drown and ease the pain
Every now and then I see the benefits…

You could see I wasn’t gonna stop
Crying on the phone, you called the cops
But you never really thought it was the end of me

You would always treat me differently
You could always speak so gently
I need you to get inside my head right now

Just help me stay alive
How good your words they were to me
Help me see another side
I wanna live to see these thoughts go free

You stayed a minute playing with my hair
Silent cause there's nothing left to share
Said you had to go but you’d be checking in

Now every breath I take I owe to you
And every breath is loosening the screw
I can watch the sun come up again

You would always treat me differently
You could always speak so gently
I need you to get inside my head right now

Just help me stay alive
How good your words they were to me
Help me see another side
Your words mean so much more to me
