Why do you keep bringing me down?
When it is I who have always kept you up when your knees gave out and for one second you forgot how to stand, but I never cared if it was a half of a second I would be there to help you walk it off, or most of the time talk it off because when people have feelings built inside their chest it makes it so much harder for them to breathe, but when they have a friend or even just an ear to spill their thoughts into, they feel as if they have the right to be on this Earth.
Why do you keep bringing me down?
When it is I who takes all of you **** and sticks around in hopes that maybe one day you'll change, maybe one day you'll realize that I could be the only person who will love you unconditionally but I feel you...
I feel you using my ribcage as a ladder to climb to my heart to eventually break it
and I know everyone always wants to get to the top, but does that really mean leaving the ones you "love" at the bottom?
Why do you keep bringing me down?
When it was I who took the anger and hurt you gave me and filtered it into a love that burns so bright not even the sun is considered its competition
because Ive always wanted something more than a lonely Saturday night with thoughts of who I could be loving or who I could be wasting my time on.
Why do you keep bringing me down?
When it was I who told you to never give up, and to chase your dreams even if you trip over reality
get back up and run faster than you were before. Because not everyday is a guaranteed open door.
Just think of the life you could have if you never gave up on anything. I told you this, and yet you still gave up on me
Why do you keep bringing me down?
When I'm already hammered into the ground.
