I appreciate your praise
But it won't find it's home in my heart
I did nothing admirable
I failed you
I tired to keep him safe but
I should have never let him slip
And he fell so hard
But he got back up without me
And maybe that proves that I was right
That he never really needed me
That he was always happier without me
But neither of us ever had the heart to say it
I didn't want to admit it
But he never wanted to hurt me
Which is useless because he did
Many times
But
Constance
I didn't save anyone
I took credit for a heart that healed itself
Cause I was never any use to anyone
I never wanted him to get better
Because at least when he was low he needed me
To bring him back up
I'm sorry for all the lies
I should have taken better care of him
I promised I would
But I've never been good at keeping my promises
So
Constance
Your praise is appreciated
But it won't find it's home in my heart
