Look in my eyes but don’t see me,
Let me loose but don’t free me
Give me some space but don’t leave me alone
Be brave for me without a backbone

Block the sunlight from my eyes, but don’t tower above me,
Respect me, but never truly love me
Be patient in life without ever waiting,
Fog your mind without it fading

Show me off without flaunting,
Push me forward without daunting
Leave me be every once in awhile, but don’t let me go,
Stand behind me without being my shadow

Listen to me, and never reply
Hurt me, don’t expect me to cry
Embrace me, but don’t touch

Love me, just not that much
