i Worry from Melodrama2009 / Saintaugustine by central standard time

i worry that my heart is filled with mud
i worry that my soul is just a stone
i worry when i finally shut my mouth
you'll get off your knees and leave me alone

i worry that my love is black and blue
i worry that your spark is growing dim
i know ill never be a kind of guy
to make you feel something on a whim

you want to spend your summers with a guy
or girl or somewhere kinda in between
but the person you chose to latch onto
has worry simply bursting at the seams

i know its not the way i wanna be
i know you'd rather me be warm and calm
but the worry eats my insides like a worm
and i cant pretend to be what im not
what im not

my home is somewhere deep inside your mind
where im someone i can stand to be around
where im someone i can barely recognize
where i sit still and dont make a sound

you swear to me im safe inside your bed
but theres something there that keeps me alert
something burrowed deep inside my skull
something made to show you how much it hurts

i love it when you say im worth your time
i eat it and it feeds my solemn stone
but ill take and take and take and ask for more
ill take everything from you except a no

you should leave while you still retain a soul
while you still have a spine to balance on
cus ill melt you down into liquid love
and ill feed on you after you're gone

worry
worry
worry
you should be worried
worried
worried
worried about me
worry
worry
