Close Call

It's not like I didn't hear your pleas

But I was indisposed myself

And how could I help half of me

When the other half was rotten as hell

I lurk in the shadows when I need to protect me from everyone else

And you needed guidance at a time that I couldn't help

So I ran away and I brought the knife to my veins

And I thought with one slice the sinister parts of me would go away

Till I lay in my blood and I heard your voice but couldn't even blink

And the flood of regret bathed me red...or is it pink

And I wanted to stay a little bit longer

And I wanted to be a tad bit stronger

But I'll work on my problems

Just promise to be here when I solve 'em
