I Wish I Could Grow Fonder
Sometimes, I forget how to miss them.
Nobody's strong because they want to be
We only hold on because we have to
And the ones who don't won't admit they're weak just by not hurting
Here I stand, infirm but stiff
Unbending just in case I break
But I know if I want to live I have to make a mistake
Nobody's strong because they want to be
We only move on because we have to
And it only scares me when I don't have to pretend that I'm not hurting
And I want to cry
And I want to shake
And I need to bend
And I might just break
Yet here I stand, infirm but stiff
I don't even have to fake this smile
Necessity means unwarranted respite for just a little while
Absence only makes the heart forget
Abstinence makes it wish it hadn't
