Turtles All the Way Down

I'm not well
As you can tell
By the way, I haven't look you in the eye
I'm about to lie and say I'm fine

But inside
You and I know that's not true
But it's either this
Or let my burdens weigh on you
And that I just can't do

So I'll choose for the both of us
And you'll just go along because
You've trusted me for no good reason
Here I am, committing treason

Force the last page of our story
One more boring allegory
Hope to god you'll rise above me
Always bite the hand that loves me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
And I'll watch you fall

And I'm aware
That it's not fair
To bring you here then send you on your way
You had so much to say

And to ask
Like, "Why am I not cut out for the task
Of loving you forever
Of holding you and never wanting less?"
Well, I can take a guess

See, I could choose for the both of us
And you'd just go along because
You've trusted me for no good reason
Love no matter what the season

Force the last page of our story
You're my favourite allegory
Hope to god that you'll forgive me
My mistakes will long outlive me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
And I'll watch you fall

And I don't know if this makes it any easier
Perhaps you'll find comfort when I say
You and I are nothing more than meteors
Never meant to live long past today

Yes, I'll choose for the both of us
You'll just go along because
You've trusted me against your judgement
You deserve someone who doesn't

Force the last page of your story
No more boring allegories
Hope to god you'll rise above me
Though you'll always be part of me
Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all
I'll watch you fall

Now watch me fall
