Send Me Away

Don't let me bother you.
I'm not here for long.
I'm only here because I couldn't sleep
And I  have nowhere else to go.
I don't want to be a nuisance.
I'll leave if you want.
I would understand if you would rather I go.
See, it's not that I don't trust you
It's that I love you.

I can leave. I really can.
What's another night alone?
I only have the rest of my life.

I'm not perfect.
But I let myself out
And she won't let me back in.
And now this is the only place to go
To take shelter against myself.

You remember when I stopped?
Well, I started again.
And I only felt better for doing it.
It's like a drug, but it's free
And you can never forget that it happened.

You remember what she did, years ago.
I'll never see well again.
I'll always look at you though one eye.
Well,
She threatened to do that again.

But don't let me interuppt you.
I can see  you're busy, so I'll leave.
I only came here because I couldn't sleep
And I have no place else to go.
