on loving someone selfish

and as much as you stab,

all the pain that you bring

i’ll still give you my coat

when the winter winds sting

so despite the betray

and the constant attack

i’ll still turn to help

when you get off track

you’d sacrifice me

for the slightest self-gain

you’ve done it before

and you’ll do it again

i’ve sworn to myself

once too many now

that i’d ignore you

and yet still somehow

i keep giving; i’ll give

til i’ve got none at all

cuz though you burn me

i will not let you fall
