Think of It as You

I believed in this relationship between you and I
as more than some short fling that could fall apart over anything
I choked back tears and held back fears and gave it my all
I look in your direction with a sense of accomplishment
this is just like you

I felt so much stronger
and you broke me down, you tore it out of me
you gave up everything you wanted
you said this was worth it

and now you feel so much worse
than I could ever hope for, and I'm sorry, I just can't make more
I give you everything that I can, but at the bottom of the pot
theres hardly anything left

I give and you take, you give and I never noticed before
how much this is, so much more
you are everything I could have ever wanted
if I ever wanted anything at all

this week in June, it feels so soon
this year in life, time goes by
and all I ever wanted
was nothing I could ever have dreamed of

vividly and wildly you sing me to sleep
I risk it all every night for you
and if you don't believe me
think of it as you
