This year has been so hard to take
And I'm thankful you were there
It's been comforting to sit with you
But it was all too much to bear
I've always lived with labels
That push me from polite society
And I don't know if you understand
That the problem lies inside of me
I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
And you're so young, so sweet
And it hurts to see you fade away
And, oh God, just know it tears me up
I just don't have the words to say:
That you deserve much better
Than someone so incomplete
And I cannot believe that I'm loved again
By someone so sweet
We both lost a lot lately
We've both taken on the guilt
For a death that was almost unreal
There was no shouting, no blood was spilt
I know I can't live in the past
It turns people sick and cold
And maybe there is nothing wrong
With wanting someone to hold
But I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous
And you're so young, so sweet
And it hurts to see you fade away
And, oh God, just know it tears me up
I don't have the words to say:
That you deserve much better
Than someone so incomplete
And I can't believe that I'm loved again
By someone so sweet
