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
