Listen, I’m so sorry for it all: The distance or the bailouts with only a last minute call To be honest you’re lucky if I even text you back It’s not that I don’t love you guys the reason is that-
In the eyes of all of ya’ll, I’m the life of the party But I lament: my well of life is almost empty And you have every right to call me selfish that I should keep it all to myself But how could I ever have enough to share when my well’s almost out
I’m not that man worth admiring anymore That guy to chug a Monster and break dance on the floor Not because i knew how to dance at all But because I lived to find you rolling beside me on the floor laughing so hard we all cried
I know you miss that guy: The guy who could make anyone into a friend in the blink of an eye, The guy who’d spend an entire day preparing a single joke so he could make your day The guy who didn’t care what anyone thought of him The guy who always had an idea to make today a day worth remembering
You guys, I miss him too- And that’s why I keep my distance from you I can’t go anywhere without feeling hollow and blue I could never bring life to the party
Nowadays I just chase a drink or two Attempting to escape the existential dread that’s bound to pursue As I waste away in my corner glowering at the room Daydreaming of how I once danced like that too
I quest every day after that amazing guy I once knew The doctor’s say I have depression and anxiety.. But unless you’ve experienced living every day trapped within a shell of a person with expectations you could never live up to, Here’s your explanation: I have amnesia.. and I don’t remember who I am
And if you could maybe try being there for me instead of watching me wish every moment towards impending oblivion.. then maybe... just maybe someday.. we can both find who we’re looking for
