I offered you a way out.
I showed you a path to get away
From the toxicity, the anger, the hate
That plague your daily life.
You were on a plane,
Falling through the sky
Soon to hit the ground.
It's out of control,
You're terrified,
So I opened the door,
Gave you a parachute,
But you refused to jump.
You were on a ship,
Sinking through the water,
Soon to be drowning.
Nothing can save it,
You're terrified,
So I took you to the deck,
Gave you a life raft,
But you refused to swim.
I keep offering a way out,
A path to flee from the pain,
From the people you claim to hate,
And the life you want to change.
And you say no.
You refuse my aid,
And lament your situation.
I'm tired. I'm tired of offering,
I'm tired of trying to save you.
I'm tired of watching you fall.
I'm tired of watching you drown.
I'm tired of feeling powerless.
I love you. I want the best for you.
And I can't keep watching you fall apart.
I want what's best for me, too,
Because I can't let myself fall apart.
You were growing.
I was so proud
Of the person you were becoming.
But that changed.
You regressed,
And I'm disappointed in what you are.
When I ask you to look in the mirror
You need to face yourself.
You need to see what you are,
What you're doing to me.
I never wanted to lose you.
But I gave you a way out,
You chose not to take it,
And now we're both paying
In blood and tears,
For your decision.
You didn't get out,
And now the fear is changing you.
I love you, more than anything,
But I'm afraid of what you're becoming.
