There were moments we'd kiss and the world would disappear
Time slowed and we lived in every single moment
I'd gathered each second and stuck them in a locket
Opened it when I needed to know I was someone important
When the bubble was shattered
I swore never to let myself be blind again
Never would I let someone else in
Not until I was sure nothing would get broken
Yet every time you came to me
Lost. Hurt. Confused.
I was there to comfort you
Each time telling myself it was temporary
Yet deep down praying it would last longer
Maybe this time you'd feel something stronger
Again I'd fall apart, though no one really knew
I'd smile and be happy that once again you made it through
I sit here sometimes and wonder if I'm just not good enough
Lay awake in bed and think of what I need to work on
This cloud builds inside me until I break down once more
And each time you come around I give a little more
