If I could explain to you,
how much I rely on your support,
would you continue to hurt yourself,
and watch my face contort?

Maybe if I showed you,
that I could die without you...

If you could even fathom,
the pain I'm in...

But nothing I say,
has any effect.
You could go either way,
I do expect.

But maybe if I told you,
that your pain wounded me...

If something I said,
showed you what you REALLY mean to me...

If your belt fit your pants,
then you might have a chance,
but nothing you eat,
has meaning.

I know this.
You know this.
It's killing us both.
