As Long As I'm With You

(album: Look Your Best - 2010)

I wanted more, I wanted to
I wanna be nobody's fool
I wanna hear that they think about me
I need the truth, I need to hide
I need to be pumped full of lies
I need to move, but it hurts just to breathe
I'm still aching
But I'm not breaking
As long as I'm with you
I'm losing ground, a quick regress
I'm trying hard, but I'm such a mess
I never dreamed I'd get so behind
A wrinkled brow, a broken heart
I'm falling out of disregard
I wanna scream what's left of my mind
I'm still aching
But I'm not breaking
As long as I'm with you
I gave it up, I sacrificed
I went along with their compromise
But now I'm gone with so much to achieve
There's nothing left but wasted youth
It isn't much, but I'm sorry too
I made you wait, but thank God you believed
I'm still aching
But I'm not breaking
As long as I'm with you
I can't fake it
But I'll still make it
As long as I'm with you
