You Are Getting Worse

You are getting worse.
I see your sunken-in eyes.
Your stomach growling
The exhaustion on your face.
The blood staining your clothes.
You told me you'd be strong
And take care of yourself while I was away
But I'm here now. I'm here, baby, I'm here
And you're in another world
A world of self-destruction.

You are getting worse.
My heart aches for you
As much as a heart can ache.
I've never loved this much before
I've never known this much pain.
I would sacrifice my life
To make you better.

You are getting worse.
I'm here, sweet Sylvia, I'm here.
I'm holding you tightly
Holding onto your skin and bones.
You are getting closer and closer to death.
You are not sleeping
You are not eating
You dig the blade in deeper and deeper.

You are getting worse.
I cannot save you
And that is the most painful part.
