Breakdown

By: Vanessa Marie Torres-Christy

You push me to be strong,
so in the end I will be better off.
Deep down inside I'm just a girl
who needs you to be here with me,
so I don't always have to be so tough.

Sometimes, I need the comfort of knowing
that you will always be there.
So, when I go out on a limb to fight the world
it will be a little easier to bare.

Now, I can do for myself as you can do for you;
you know this better than anyone else, I have proven it to be true.
But, baby, if you only knew how scared I am without you.
I'm only human, what else am I suppose to do
when you're away and I'm in need.

The fear inside me is enough to bring me to my knees.
