I’m glad to know my feelings don’t mean as much as yours
I’m glad to know that I can stand here and listen to your pain but you never remember mine
Glad to know I can talk you off the edge
Glad to know it won’t hurt you when I fall off my own
Glad to know that I won’t be missed
So happy that I can smile and cover up the pain
Happy that I can play second when I was here first
So ******* happy to know that I no longer mean as much
Glad to know I was useful in some ways
Glad to know that my guilt won’t affect you
So freaking glad that my problems are nothing unless they are getting in the way of me lifting you up
Glad to know that your head is above water even as I drown
