Figures in Fiction - Another Day

I spent another day waiting for a reason to get out of bed
I'm running out of excuses, things I could say to diffuse the tension
I spent another day waiting for my next chance to slip away
I'm so afraid of anybody listening
I don't want to be scared of the place
I'm supposed to feel the most safe, but these days it's my reality

Just one moment away

Do you know what it's like to not be able to look yourself in your own eyes?
And the ones who'd tell you it's all okay will look away in shame or start to cry?
Do you know what it's like to be uncertain if anyone you love will stay in your life?
They'll try and pray, they'll shoulder blame
All I want to know is why

I spent another day waiting for an opportunity to talk to you again
You're the only one who gets it
You're the only one my secret's safe with
Could you stay for another moment at least?
Are you in the same position as me?
Is this the only place you're safe?
Do you relate?
Are you in the same position as me?
Can you not bear the weight of your pain?

I wish I could take it all away

Do you know what it's like to not be able to look yourself in your own eyes?
And the ones who'd tell you it's all okay will look away in shame or start to cry?
Do you know what it's like to be uncertain if anyone you love will stay in your life?
They'll try and pray, they'll shoulder blame
All I want to know is why

Does it hurt to stay?
Are you longing for a better place?
Does it hurt to wait?
Do you need someone to take the pain away?

I wish I could make this right
I wish I could free you from this life
Please let me stay by your side
I promise it gets better with time

We both know what it's like to not be able to look ourselves in our own eyes
You've suffered enough, so let me tell you: it's gonna be okay, just look into mine
Let me be be there for you to ease your burden
Even if it's not much, please let me try
If you ever need me, you've got me on your side

So if you ever need me, you've got me on your side
You've got me on your side
