Take this knife and let me offer you my chest
I always was too forgiving
Who would know that my greatest sin
would be giving you the benefit of the doubt?

If you really feel so little
Then why don't you take this now?
But you can't see putting an end to your own comfort
(because you know what you're doing)

I held on for you
I prayed for you
I suffered for you
I sacrificed for you
I bleed for you
I starve for you
I loved for you
And for all this there is nothing?
(I have nothing in return)

I never thought I asked for too much
I never wanted to be your whole world
I never presumed to be a priority
What else do I have to do to be worth it?
(Am I no longer good enough?)

I struggled for you
I cry for you
I fought for you
I hated for you
I strain for you
I fell for you
So won't you please give me back?
(give me back my life, my heart, my own self-respect...)

It's such a slap in the face
To tell me I'm not good enough
(but I know I am)
It's such a burning anger
To know that I'm expendable
(you can't survive without me)
It's such twisting pain
To see the future that lies before me
(I'm better off out of your reach)

Alone
Untouchable
