As Long As You're Around

Start with a line that comes to mind,
and speak easily.
All of the words she wants to hear.
so tenderly.
Find her a place, somewhere to stay,
all of the night you go away.
Then make her believe.
that what she sees is not what she’ll get.
Follow her back to the secret place,
where sweet soul dreams met.
Convince her that you are all she needs,
she shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds.
And cry,
make her cry.
Dry her eyes,
and make her believe that,
as long as you’re around,
as long as you hold her,
she’ll be okay.
But as soon as you leave her,
you might fall apart.
So leave while you love her.
Make her forget,
ever knowing your name
Search all around,
and what you find is not what you need.
Instead it’s a girl,
whose whole wide world’s just incomplete.
She’s done her time,
so let her be,
apologizing endlessly.
So why.
do you try.
to make her cry,
to make her believe that
as long as you’re around,
as long as you hold her,
she’ll be okay.
But as soon as you leave her,
she might fall apart,
leave if you love her.
Make her forget,
ever knowing your name
So why.
do you try.
to make her cry,
to make her believe that,
as long as you’re around,
as long as you hold her,
she’ll be okay.
But as soon as you leave her,
she might fall apart,
leave if you love her.
Make her forget,
ever knowing your name
Watch her falling down,
falling to pieces.
She’ll be just fine,
as soon as you leave her.
As long as you’re around,
as long as you hold her,
she will regret,
ever knowing your name.
