Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

You're right, I admit it  
This is why I need you here  
This is what happens  
When I let people get near  
 
I fall into this trap  
Time and time again  
But you are always real  
You never play pretend  
 
As much as it pains me  
To have to admit  
I need you to step in  
Help me forget  
 
I talk bad about you  
Make you the bad guy  
But the truth is  
Im the only one that makes me cry  
 
Forgive me and come back  
I won't spurn you again  
Im admitting to you now  
I need my best friend  
 
You've always been there  
Trying to protect  
Never turn your back  
No matter how much I reject  
 
That stops today  
Im ready to embrace  
Im giving you my heart  
For you to encase
