When you haven't talked to someone in months...
You realize how much you've missed out on
And how much you needed them
Or they needed you
Now all the secrets are pouring out
That you've been keeping for so long
And I'm overwhelmed
That I had that big of an impact on you
You've thought about me
Missed me
Longed for me because I once was there for you
But I never texted back
I didn't talk to you
I didn't try to listen
I then I finally realized
I was breaking the broken
Ignoring someone is worse than lying to them
I moved on, but you stayed behind
Lingering because you didn't know where to go
I was the only person you had
And I ran away
I didn't want to hear the sob story
I didn't want to handle your pain with mine
So I shut you out, And I shut my mouth
I was breaking the broken
I'm sorry
I'm so terribly sorry
I wasn't there for you
But honestly...
I can't be
I can no longer be the rock for you
I can't hold you up on my shoulders
I can't be mommy anymore
I don't always have to be the strong one
People don't realize
When they have one person they tell everything to
That person has to then deal with your strife
I am told everything
The weight of your world is on my shoulders
If I put it back on yours
I'll be breaking the broken
If I'm already in bits, and your crumbling apart
How do I support us both?
In ashes you expect me to make a fire
In rubble I am to build a fortress
To protect you from yourself
I've heard your stories
I've heard the reasoning
But I don't understand why you stand there
Putting yourself into positions of heartbreak
And expect me to fix it
You are breaking the broken
So I'm done
No more playing house
I'm not taking care of you anymore
It's time to grow up
I won't always be here to give advice
I know I left you stranded
And I'm sorry
But I have my own mountains to move
I really didn't mean
To break the broken
