when I say

when I say
         "I can't 
            cope
        with the pressure"
   when I say
       "take a step back"
when I say
               "give me time -
              and 
                space"

don't read it as...
            "if you send me 
              another 
           bunch of red roses 
           I'll call you 
             and say
                  lets go out for 
                  coffee and sex."
    I mean
   "let me breath"
                  PLEASE
     let me be ME"
     untainted.
         ME
