Middle
I’m sick of standing here in the middle
Watching you waste away, fade away
Why you choose this path its all a riddle
To me - the shadow you don’t see
I just want to scream though no one hears
Losing you is one of my biggest fears
Your life is slowly disappearing like the cloud of smoke
Watching you take in your daily puff, leave your mind
You say it makes you happier, well what a joke
Your high- addicted to the pain you cause
I wish you’d realize, you’re hurting me
My feelings over your head like smoke
That fills the air do you care?
I’m fed up with standing here as you swallow sorrow
Watching you turn to that bottle like it was a friend
You think my love is just something one can burrow
Trapped- inside that very bottle you drink from
I just want someone to let me out let me free
I know you too want it the way it use to be
You drink to drown the pain, grief and madness
Watching you empty one after another
You become someone different---
Targeting me, my brother and mother
Those words you say, eat at my heart
They crush me tearing me apart
You think a drink will help you escape
You can’t run from your mistakes
Come on be a man for god sakes
She left, faded away and I won’t watch you to the same
Fade in the shadows with depression and shame
You can ignore me, put me down and watch me cry
But I’ll continue to love you no need to ask why
I pray that someday you’ll thank me for all I’ve done
But i'm tired of suffering along you this pain is no fun
I'd do anything to have the real you back again
I cry and ask the question when, when, when
I stand here in the middle with one thing to do
But scream and wonder will you stop will you
