If only I

If only I could see

With the eyes that burn, burn, burn, burn me

If only I could breathe

With all the weight, weight, weight they put on me

But I don’t need your help

I’ve dealt with it

I’m retracing my steps defectively

Afloat below

You only count on me

To avoid the pain, pain, pain that you grieve

I strip away the greed

From time to time I find, find, find what lies beneath

If only I could see

(But I don't need your help)

With the eyes that burn, burn, burn, burn me

If only I could breathe

With all the weight, weight, weight they put on me

Yet deep down I dream in all reverie

Warm and patiently

You would tend to me and see
