only to make you/me hurt less

i can't control you
but i want to
for your own good

i want to hug you until the shaking stops
until everything bad is gone for good
i want you to see things from my perspective
cause i promise you it's easier here

it hurts me that you won't help yourself
that you don't want to
it hurts me that you can't see
what is for your own good

i can't control you
but i want to
for your own good

so i just have to let it go
let you go
let us go
and leave you to your own devices

we only hurt ourselves.
