Dear

Grab me by my collar, dear

And tell me, tell me I'm enough

Wrap your arms around me, dear

Hold me tightly, until half of me goes numb

Pin me to the floor, my dear

Till I believe you're not going anywhere

Kiss me on my eyelids, dear

Run your fingers along the scars on my spine

You shine so bright I'm blinded, dear

When my eyes adjust, I hope you're still here

Make me believe you feel the same way I do

And if you don't, promise me you'll try to

Are you mine or is this delusion, dear?

I'm not sure which of the two I prefer

Too insecure for you, I fear

Filter my thoughts through the palms of your hands

Can you hear my voice up there?

I pull and shove but I can't seem to shake

The pedestal I built for you

You shine so bright I'm blinded, dear

When my eyes adjust, I hope you're still here

Make me believe you feel the same way I do

And if you don't, promise me you'll try to

You shine so bright I'm blinded, dear

When my eyes adjust, I hope you're still here

Make me believe you feel the same way I do

And tell me that when I cry, you'll cry too

You shine so bright I'm blinded, dear

When my eyes adjust, I hope you're still here

Make me believe you feel the same way I do

And tell me that when I cry, you'll cry too

You shine so bright I'm blinded, dear

When my eyes adjust, I hope you're still here

Make me believe you feel the same way I do

And if you don't, promise me you'll try to
