Title: Be me

The guilt eats me up
knowing I could be so much better, better for you
I can notice you're trying, but it's not hard enough
and I can tell you've been crying, but your tears aren't of sadness
there made up of inner shame

I know that you need someone
so let it be me, let it be me
because you are the best thing
and it feels like I can't walk on
let it be me, let it be me


Chorus: it feels like I'm not even second best,
and I keep letting vulnerable moments pass
and I have no faith in this, I have no faith in myself
I reach over for hope and it slaps my hand
I can't remember feeling like I belong
I'd give anything, everything I have
just for this peace of mind, to finally be my own

I just need someone that can take this away
the faith is gone, and I've been waiting up all evening
just to hear your voice once more
and you're delayed, you always put me last
and so let it be me, let me carry on

chorus

ending: so let it be me,
because you are the best thing,
let it be me, I know that you need someone
