Cherish - Gretta Ray

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
