Put Up With Me

I just don't know how I got here
I barely know how I can breathe
I feel my fear is like a bracing arm around me
and I walk around, trying to believe

You hide your face so I can't see you
Your comfort's shaking like a leaf
and I keep trying to get some space around me, baby
cause all I really need is some relief

And I know - I'm a fool not to see what's around me

I see your face in every mirror
Stand behind me as I brush my teeth
You want to give me, the love I don't deserve
And all that I can think of is retreat...

I look inside myself to find the answers
and all I ever get, is the same old lies
and I know, I know, that you are the one for me
but I just can't bring myself to recognize

I wish I were contented
I wish that I could see
I wish that I could blow this all away from me

CHORUS:
So why do you put up with me?
So why do you put up with me?
why do you put up with me? (x2)

I see myself for the first time
and I wish I hadn't opened up my eyes
there's too many things in this life being placed before me
that I don't have the sense to recognize

I close my eyes
hoping that I won't realize
the things I do to you
the things I do to myself too
Might be best if I am not around to find
Find out all the things that you've got weighing on your mind

BRIDGE
I can't even take
A girl in my eyes
Who wants to know more about me
Then I can safely advise

And I know
I know it's not that easy
I wish I could believe,
I wish that I could see...

CHORUS (x2)
