The Light's Green, Let's Cross the Road

I won't stare at you crumbling away.
I really hope that these words
Will let you change.
You don't have to go back
To the person you were in the past,
But to a future person that's built to last.
I know that bite is hard to swallow
But somehow you have to start,
It gets easier,
Every day it gets a little easier,
But you gotta do it every day
That's the hard part

If you lose to yourself
I will run through your hell,
Take back your lost half,
Row through your fears
With my broken raft.
Things do get better,
You just gotta keep fighting
And don't get frustrated
By something done by someone else
One day you'll learn to forgive yourself
And all the others
And the process of growth
Won't make you feel bothered

I will use your eyes
As a comparison for diamonds
I might buy for you,
And your arms will be my fort
When I need somewhere to escape to
Your hair, fibers of ropes
I can hold in times when hopes untie me
My silence and my shoulder to cry on
When you're silent and your tired body
Can't shoulder another loss, defy, or paragon
You care too much about
What people think about you,
It's not your fault if the sky today
Is not sapphire blue

I wish I could get to your old self,
Trying to talk to her, saying that
Everything's going to be right in the end,
I simple phrase I hope
That could ease your dread
Life is worth living
When you find something to live for
And let me be your fuel,
That's the difference from before

One day you'll learn how to forgive yourself
And the process of growth won't make you feel bothered

I imagine every possible reality
In which you're not with me anymore
And there isn't any of them
In which I don't go down a dark trapdoor.
So rest your racked limbs,
As I take you away
With my cracked wings
