Can't I be the witness
Rather than the bitch with the knife?
Can't I be the ambulance?
Saviours aren't known for ending life
They're not the type
But I feel as though an end
Feels right
Can't I be the mattress
Positioned to break your fall?
A much revered actress
I'd make us believe that there's always more
But the curtain calls
And I feel as though an end's
At the door
Can't I be the doctor
Ready to save the day?
Can't I think it over?
I'm never so sure
Anyway
least not today
And it's easier
To stay
