To Be Nothing

Once again I'm left listening
         to hollow footsteps as you walk away
Because I'll only ever be the type of girl
You pour your heart out to, and when you're feeling better           
        you'll just leave behind

Being alone never used to be a problem
                  But now as I wrap myself in dreams
And sew a fragile blanket from the stars
Maybe I'm just finding
                  I'm so tired of being nothing

So while you still need me I'll be everything to you
        And while you tie my words around your world
I'll hold your hand and dry your tears
And when you're standing on two feet again
        I won't cry when you leave me here alone

I've grown accustomed to people walking in
            and walking out of my heart like I don't feel at all
But the truth is that I feel every word you say and every breath you take
So much stronger than I will ever feel my own
             and there is nothing scares me more

I do not whisper a word as I watch someone walk away again
                         Happy that you feel better yet somewhat on my own
Because I'll only ever be the type of girl
You pour your heart out to, and when you're feeling better           
        you'll just leave behind
