You constantly push buttons
But when will the bomb detonate?

There's a point when the welfare of others begins to take its toll on you
When the wellbeing of someone is more important than yourself

You have to love yourself enough to stop
You have to love yourself enough to say no
You have to love yourself enough to realize
It was hurting you, and the whole time it wasn't okay
You have to love yourself enough to move on

Maybe - finally - I'm releasing the voice I've kept inside.

People can change
For the better
Or for worse
And I know this for certain
Because I lost a friend

The others don't blame me
We did our best
Trying to bring him home
But our promises were all made void

She believed in me
Said I was the only one
Who could save him from himself
But I am not wiser or stronger
Because I lost a friend

He laughs and he mocks me
For the friendship I believed in
The one he betrayed
And inside I am wounded deeply
Because we lost a friend

Hearing you
Say her
name was
like taking
down
a shot of
Whiskey

Until I
remembered
that you  
weren't really
ever my
Cup of tea

No, but this outweighs anything you could ever bring to the table.

I am responsible for what I say, not what you understand.
Unsure of what I mean?
ASK.

It's a simple solution, really.
Fairly obvious, if you ask me.
Before you shove your false interpretations of what you believe my words to mean in everyone's faces, why don't you take the time to clarify?

Vincible ignorance. You have the means of acquiring the knowledge and truth behind my statements.
The fact that you don't use those resources is your responsibility.
I hold them in the palm of my hand, in the lobes of my brain, in the words behind my lips that are waiting for release.

You do it to make yourself look better?
You do it to start a fight?
You do it because you don't want to admit that I'm right?
Maybe diverting attention away from the fact will tarnish my name, eh? Bruise up my face?
That what you think?

You're **** right I'm an open book.
I will not hesitate to correct you in front of the world for your seeming inability to understand.
I won't be accountable for you wanting to start a fight from your willing ignorance.
