[Verse 1]
Treat me like the one you want
Though I know you're coming up for air is all
And I won't let them see you
When you're down
Treat me like the one you want
Though I know you're coming up for air is all
And I won't let them see you
When you're down
And the trees are dying prettier than we do
I've been digging down your throat
To find the words before you choke
Before you choke, choke

[Chorus]
I don't wanna fight it
When I don't know how
I only wanna save you
For now
I know what you're thinking, Mother
I know what you're thinking, Father
I went and found the beauty for you

[Verse 2]
If I gave you all
I gave you all you asked of me
Now, you're wanting more
Well, go on, take my everything
'Cause I haven't been alone enough to question
The things you do to me
[Chorus]
I don't wanna fight it
When I don't know how
I only wanna save you
I don't wanna fight it
When I don't know how
I only wanna save you
For now
I know what you're thinking, Mother
I know what you're thinking, Father
I went and found the beauty for you

[Bridge]
Are we far?
Not far from hurting again
Is it time?
No time to take time
Are we far?
Not far from hurting again
Is it time?
No time to take time

[Outro]
I knew you when you ought to know
I knew you when you ought to know
You ought to know
You ought to know by now
