Do I give you a false sense of security?
A broken shield, what a pity
I wrote it down so you'll never forget
So when I'm not there you can always read it
What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?
Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
It's a long way home, you know I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
Marbled eyes, just like your mother
Without the demons that wrestle your father
I never wanted it to feel like I choose this over you
(Choose this over you)
Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hands, you know I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Imagine we're in the same place at the same time
Every breath is like a twisting knife in my side
Take me back, take me back, I'm begging, don't leave me here
I can almost feel your hands, but I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
And it feels like a knife in my side
Nothing changes when I close my eyes
I'll just keep telling myself: Just one more breath
It's a long way back and I can't part the sea
When I leave, I leave all that matters to me
What if I was always around?
Would I still let you down?
What if I could be everywhere at once?
