who’s been silent far too loud

who’s been humble far too proud

who’s been ruthless far too kind

seeing clearly being blind

 

who’s been feeble who’s been strong

who’s been pretty wild and young

who’s been caring  not giving a damn

never knowing  who i am

 

as if you cared even slightly

as if you cared honestly

as if you cared even slightly

as if you cared to see

 

i’ve been your trusted friend your traitor

i’ve been your worst mistake your savior

i’ve been giving selfishly

damned and chained by liberty

 

as if you cared…

 

we succeeded once we failed

in blaming everyone but ourselves

i see it all so clearly now how denial has prevailed

and the boozy streets we came from

surely taught us how to fail

 

i surrender i regress

i warmly welcome this powerlessness

i will face and leave the load of my sins

i will lean back then and my life begin

 

and you might care more than slightly…

 

what life has done to you and to me

 

you might care to see
