Narcissist vs Empath

I knew, under all those cracks,
Was a beautiful man
I just need some time, some love, to patch them up
Because saving you
Will save me, too

And the clock ticked by,
Love didn't suffice
Yet I was sure the clock ran fast
You'd never finish last

A bit more patience, yes
And your body will undress
But your mind,
I still can't find

God, I loved you
Why couldn't I save you
Why wouldn't you let me
You gave me worst while I gave the best me

It's not how it works
I need to fix you
And for a day or two
You'll be good as new

But will I?
Or will I have to die, inside
Before you'll finally try
Or see I'm right
Stop fighting the light
