better part of me lyrics

Something says to me, "Don't be afraid"
But if I don't worry I'll surely slip away
I need to speak to you, hear what you say
But if I breathe too hard, I think I'll go insane

There's a part of me, so insecure
Of all that I could have and all that I've gone through
If there could be a way through a better design
I'd probably screw it up and let it slip away

Well, I wonder if I stayed here
Would you become a better part of me
I can say now, that you changed me
And I've become a better part of me

I am the strongest I have ever been
The very thought of you can't even comprehend
The safest bet for me is to focus hard
And try to face myself I can't take it anymore

I hope I'm everything that I need to be
You are my everything, so I'll just stay
