I pretend to sleep while she cries at night 
 
 Then slowly dries her eyes 
 
 Vacant are the words of mine 
 
 That say we are alright 
 
  
  I don't want, don't want to be 
 
 Your hate and misery 
 
 But I want to be your crutch and I want to be your thing 
 
 In this eternal un-ending 
  
 
 Hold on tight but don't hold me down 
 
 Stay all night if you wanna 
 
 Do your worst, your worst to me 
 
 No one will ever hear you 
  
 
 So let me get this straight 
 
 I'll take a minute if I may 
 
 And try to take it all 
 
 Take it away for you 
  
 
 Black and blue with residue 
 
 Your open heart and the untrue 
 
 Try to let us go 
 
 Another night without 
  
 
 I don't want, don't want to be 
 
 Your hate and misery 
 
 But I want to be your crutch and I want to be your thing 
 
 In this eternal un-ending 
  
 
 Hold on tight but don't hold me down 
 
 Stay all night if you wanna 
 
 Do your worst, your worst to me 
 
 No one will ever hear you
