Ekaa Sood - A Thousand Arrows

(By a thousand arrows)
A quiet voice in my head will often say
I don't deserve someone who'll wash the pain away
But never once did you decide that you'd had enough
Instead you'd sit with me and heal all of the bruises and cuts
My troubles aren't something I should hand over
I shouldn't place this burden on your shoulders
I know I should go but I keep on coming back to you
Cause no one else knows how to tear down my walls the way you do
Keep me closer than your own shadow
Promise me now and tomorrow
I know I should but I can't let you go
I'd rather be pierced by a thousand arrows than to see you go
Don't want to see you go
Sometimes it feels like the world's collapsing
And my demons are on the wreckage, dancing
So will you hold me and tell me it's just in my mind?
Cause it can get too hard to keep up this endless fight
Keep me closer than your own shadow
Promise me now and tomorrow
I know I should but I can't let you go
I'd rather be pierced by a thousand arrows than to see you go
Don't want to see you go
I don't ever wanna be the one who holds you back or drags you down
But everything just crumbles when I think of not having you around
Don't walk away from me
I don't have the strength to set you free
I can't live without you
But why would I want to?
Promise me
I know I should but I can't let you go
I'd rather be pierced by a thousand arrows than to see you go
Than to see you go
Don't want to see you go.
