What do you expect of me?
Just turn tail run off and flee?
Be the one who's never there?
Act like I'll never care?

Well it's ******* and you know this.
Out of all the people your the only one I miss.
The only one I long to see.
The one I wished you'd say you loved me.

As your irritation starts to peek.
I know I can't help you find what you seek.
I just wish I was there to guide you through.
Every single little thing you do.

Maybe then you'd be on your way.
Maybe then you'd actually stay.
Yet I can't force you to do things you don't want to.
Even though I hope one day my words will cut through.

Into that shell you've built around your soul.
All while you take a hit from another bowl.
I watch you exhale what's left of you through the smoke.
I'm ready to save you when you choke...
