I dare you to stand alone / and watch all your chances blown
When you insist to live but never grow
And every time you say you’re missing me / I have to question your sanity
When you refuse to change the status quo
You shrug it off while i’m left grasping at the straws / My life a shield you use to insulate you from your flaws
There are times I feel that you’re a child in my arms / The more you use that crutch the more it harms
You make the choice to live in misery / far too blind to see its killing me
You feel the heat and retreat into that hole
Just close your eyes and again descend / repeat your lies and play pretend
Because when I pick you up it takes its toll
There are times I feel like I should just accept my fate / my legacy resigned to always shouldering your weight
And when I feel that I should just admit I’m through / I realize that’s exactly what you’d do
You live your life like a solemn stone / far too content to be alone
And live inside your custom-built despair
Its up to me to save the day / but when the armor falls away
The knight inside is far worse for the wear
Run from broken plans instead of picking up the shards / deciding just to fold instead of laying down your cards
There are times I feel that you’re a child in my arms / The more you use that crutch the more it harms
