I'm gonna give you so much

I'll be whatever you want me to be
And if you want me to
I'm gonna carry you
Just take my hand
And I'll show you the way

So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying
You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold o
