You Can't Destroy What You Didn't Create

I want you around, believe me, I do. But I have too much to lose.

I’m not old enough yet to know what I’m doing, and I wouldn’t know what to choose.

So I’m sorry if you’re there and I’ve hurt you already. Baby, believe me, I am.

But I can’t believe I have what it takes, even if you can.

Because you’re nothing right now, I’m sorry, it’s true. I don’t even know if you’re real.

But one day, I promise my darling for you, I would beg and borrow and steal.

One day, you’ll mean the world to me and you’ll be so loved, it’ll hurt.

I don’t know if you even exist right now, I’m left completely in the lurk.

I promise if you’re real, I’ll stop doing these things to make you go away.

But I need to know for sure, my love, before I ask you to stay.

And I’m dreading the day, no matter what because your love is all I need.

To fill that void, to make me complete, to make me take some heed.

Whether true or false, it’ll kill me the same, this I have no doubt.

I love you, I promise, ‘til the day I die, whether I’m with or without.
