I put you up, higher than the rest,
But you went and climbed your way down.
I always kept you above my head and gave you everything that I had left and all you did was bury me underground.

As hard as I tried to dig my way from the ground,
Your actions have kept me ******* in the hand.
You were my number one,
And what kills me most is that I used to overthink about you all day long,
Now I barely keep the thought of you in my mind
And that feels absolutely wrong.

All I did was overestimate you because I thought you were different than everyone else somehow.
My vision was blurry from all the streaming tears on my face, but I managed to wipe them confidentially and never hesitate.

Today we barely have anything to say,
and eventually I will have to live it anyway.
You used to be something enormous in my eyes,
sadly you collapsed from the pain you put me through that made me feel like I was about to die.

I guess it's a matter of priority from someone being something to almost nothing.
