Breaking Down

I can’t do it
No not today
I can’t try to help you out
When you’re just going to look the other way
It’s so easy to turn a cheek
Is so much easier to be weak
Happiness hates misery loves company so sad
And the pain is calling me deeper
I’m slowly breaking down.
You tell me of the pills you’ve popped
The new hobby of cancer you’ve taken up
How you want to sell your body
And drink until all the problems become fuzzy
Until you can’t remember your name
You tell me you have nothing to live for
That inside you feel so empty just waiting to be found
You’re slowly breaking down.
Crying without a sound, smashing bottles, falling to the ground
Seeing the problems streak you carpet with liquid red stains
But I cannot be the one to blame
For saying the wrong thing; so I say nothing at all
I want to help you, but I can’t solve your problems
no not today...
The most I can do is hold you tight
Comfort you with a lullaby
Baby, you’re beautiful I wish you could see
That you don’t have to hurt yourself to believe
And if you want to you can change
Turn it all around – you can!
And not be broken down again.
