Gretta Ray - Cherish lyrics

It'd be so brave of me to walk away, leave this apartment, leave this place we taint
Hold my head, sleep on it, keep you waiting
Draw it out, give you space 'til it pains you
We sit in silence here in the bed we made
I sit beside you, wearily taking your weight
You pull back, I reach out, try to save you
Come undone then go numb, like it's easy to

I'm playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I'm no match for your demons
I know that I won't beat them
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder lately
As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you

Summer was wondrous feeling assured and safe, soaked in daylight and love
We were thinking straight
Photographs show us as we were then, babe
Look at us now, tearing this down like we want it this way

My childhood room is in boxes
Packed up half of my life
Everything I have to offer is in your hands, still I
Feel I may not be enough
You think I don't fit quite right, but the way your body holds mine makes me think otherwise

I'm playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I'm no match for your demons
I know that I won't beat them
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder lately
As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you

What do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you

What do I need to say to bring you back to recenter and see me the way I want you to

I'm playing all of my cards, sweetheart, but I'm no match for your demons
I know that I won't beat them
Questions I should never ask are all that I seem to ponder lately
As times ahead look hazy, what do I have to do just to make you believe so you can cherish me like I cherish you

It'd be so brave of me to walk away
