For Awhile

Here's what I have to offer you, it's nothing much and nothing more, can't help but live with the face I got stuck with.
I don't want to be excused I'm just tired of being used for a while.

I got, what I need to get me by, I lose a step and I'll lose my stride.
Got a call from my best friend, she's on the ropes and near the end.
I don't want to see you lose I just need you to stay alive for a while.

It takes too long, and I don't feel like being strong.
A thousand reasons for being loud, for going off and being proud.
I don't want to carry you, I just need to put you down for a while
