beside the others lyrics

How could she be
With a wretch like me
I'm a broken shell of a man that never was
I'd trade all that we've made
Just for one more date with destruction

I'm not being fair to you
I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts to see her face to see her on my shelf
Beside the others

You're the cutest thing
I've seen
You're all a man could need
But I'm lifeless

I need to tell you no
I just can't let her go
'Cause I'm selfish
So selfish

I'm not being fair to you
I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts to see her face
Sittin' on my shelf
Beside the others

If I could tell you one thing
I think that you should know
I'm not afraid to love you
Just of letting go

If love and comfort
Are the same thing
Then why can't I ever find my way out?
I want to say we're strong
We can carry on

But I'm dragging you down
Ya I'm bringing you down
I'm dragging you down with me

I'm not being fair to you
I'm lyin' to myself
It hurts me to see her face
Sitting on my shelf

If I could tell you one thing
I think you should know
I'm not afraid to love you
Just of letting go
Just of letting go
Just of letting go
