Your Problems

I see your hair is growing out

I checked on you from a new account

You’re smoking cigarettes

I know that it’s cause I left

I heard you’re shutting people out

And sleeping on your brother’s couch

Now you drink when things get harder

Said you’d never be your father

I can’t be your floodgate

But I hate to see you drown

I can’t be your bandaid

but it kills to watch you bleeding out

I still worry about you

Even though it’s not my job to

No matter what I do, it’s wrong

Your problems aren’t mine

But they feel like my fault

It’s taking everything I have

Not to shape the aftermath

And give in to my vices

To calm your crisis

Yeah maybe if I called you up

You wouldn’t be in this rut

I thought I was your savior

Turns out I’m just an enabler

I can’t be your sunshine

I have to let you learn to live with rain

I still worry about you

Even though it’s not my job to

No matter what I do, it’s wrong

Your problems aren’t mine

But they feel like my fault
