You once asked me how I tolerate you.
Babe, how do you tolerate me?
After I dragged you into
all of my problems and
how I ask you for help 24/7,
how are you not sick of me?
You don't deserve to carry the weight of the world, yet
I keep heaping my issues on you.
It's not fair to you, but, for some reason,
you're always willing to listen and help.
I don't understand, but
I appreciate it.
Though, sometimes, I just wish
I could keep everything to myself because
none of my problems
are easy to solve and
they just cause you pain.
(Though you won't admit it.)
I wish I didn't feel like
such a burden,
that I could rewind time and
just hold onto my problems, never bring them up,
so I'd never make you sad.
I can't help feeling like a handful sometimes, but
while I may not know how you tolerate me,
I know that, somehow,
you still love me and
that's all that really matters.
