you can say i knew it all along
  that you were all i wanted
  to know the pain has made you grow strong
  the scars inside have made you beautiful
  stop breathing for me
  you said it's your right to shun dependence
  and you shun
  and you're scared to accept
  someone to share your regrets
  when you're aching
  you go it alone
  when you want to
  you take what you need to make you whole
  i know it's not easy
  i know i can't feel through what you have been and trust
  don't come easy
  'cause to trust is to depend
  and who wants to give up that part of them
  you know you can have it
  if you want to
  i'll find you unrelated, cultivated
  when you wake up incubated in me
  you're free to leave
  if you knew it all along
