Personally

I'm staring up at my ceiling fan,
biting my lip, trying to understand,
what you're saying, where you're coming from
and fighting my instinct to run.
Just because things have gotten hard,
doesn't mean I want to drop my cards.
I'm a fighter, I was built for wars,
and you are the one worth fighting for.

I'll try not to take it personally,
have a little faith that it's not me.
Wanting to give me what you don't have,
when all I want's for you not to be sad.
Fighting the darkess, holding on tight
loving me so much, but not feeling right,
but I would never leave you and
I hope that's enough for tonight.

You've been home almost a day in your room,
thinking of me and battling your gloom.
Trying to make me feel all better,
but you need to look in the mirror.
I can only hope to strengthen your grip,
give you more time before you slip.
I can assist, but I can't fix,
and saying those words hurts my lips.
There's only so much a girl can do,
but this one will do it all for you.

I'll try not to take it personally,
have a little faith that it's not me.
Wanting to give me what you don't have,
when all I want's for you not to be sad.
Fighting the darkess, holding on tight,
loving me so much, but not feeling right,
but I would never leave you and
I hope that's enough for tonight.

I'm the kind of girl who gets things done,
but this isn't a job for a staple gun.
So I'll hold your hand and kiss you goodnight,
do my best to set your heart just right.
Though it feels there's nothing I can do
you say it's everything that I love you.

So I'll try not to take it personally,
have a little faith that it's not me.
Wanting to give me what you don't have,
when all I want is for you not to be sad.
Fighting the darkess, holding on tight,
loving me so much, but not feeling right,
but I would never leave you and
I hope that's enough for tonight.
