I blame myself for the worry weighing down your weary soul
Lack of support and fights have been taking their toll
Need me to take care of you but I'm not sure that I can
Barely able to survive without an added man.

Have the brain of a woman, the heart of a girl
Constantly swept up in the day to day whirl
You, the steady voice of reason
Reliable no matter circumstances or season.

Tears never help me see clearer
Or wash away hurt shown in the mirror
Loud silence doesn't make you understand
Gloomy eyes glued to yours will not have you reaching for my hand.

Run far from here before it is too late
And we turn into people we hate
Time takes loved ones known, and those who know you,
And changes them into people you once knew.
