lyrics

It was built while you were missing
It flourished while you were away
I couldn't find you to tell you
I couldn't find the words to say
I didn't ask for it to go like this, but things don't always go as planned
I tried to cross the bridge with you, but you wouldn't take my hand

And if this hurts you, well it hurts me too, because I tried so hard in vain
and when I couldn't stand it any more, I left you with the pain

Now I'm with her and it's lovely, but it's not all fun and games
'cause I watch you as you kill yourself in new and different ways, and yet the same
and some they tell you that it can't go on, it's time to change
and some they feed you alcohol and pills and sleepless nights while you decay

And now I've got no leg to stand on as I plead with you to stop
As I hear about it everyday, I watch you as you drop
I always wanted to see you happy and you wouldn't do it for me
but now it's over and you're sinking deeper, will you ever let yourself breathe?
