IM SAD FOR YOU

its a funny fact of life
how the people you once loved so deeply
can become something you regret even deeper
the ones that got away
the ones that don't shine
the ones that turned their lives into miserable frustration and disorder
drink from the bottle
pray it goes away
but never ever do anything to make it really better
how would you validate your existence without the pain
you don't even know how to breathe without it
if the sting isn't their, cant feel your lungs
she always tried to make me feel like an asshole
for not wanting to be a part of the wreckage
she just didn't want to be alone when she drove head first into the sun
she wanted to crash and burn together
to dual self destruct
where you see a dead end, i see a wall to scale
where you see a black hole, i reach for a shovel and start putting the dirt back in
where you see no hope, i see a need to look harder
and you're what? angry?
who are you really angry at?
you want things to bend to your will
and you can have that, that's not a problem
but you have to have the fortitude to bend things
not give up like a scared little girl
you're the greatest quitter
the worlds shining failure
you'll never be a star in the sky
just a smudge on the television screen
and i am sad for you
i am truly, deeply sad
when i think about you
