Not up to Me

Stuck in the old ways

I can see that you're afraid

Who are you trying to please?

Weakness behind your eyes

Find it hard to sympathize

You're everything I wanted to be

I wont stand to see you fall

I know you most of all

And in this dark you'll never see

But its not up to me

You can drown alone

As if you were thrown

And deny you're alive

But if you get swept up with the tide

You still haven't died, and for now

I'll stay, right by your side

Is it really worth this

Claiming you are worthless

Who are you trying to be?

Remember when your mood was fine

Now your joys become a crime

All your pain won't seem to leave

But its not up to me

You can drown alone

As if you were thrown

And deny you're alive

But if you get swept up with the tide

You still haven't died, and for now

I'll stay, right by your side

You claim that I'm never there

That I'm always unaware

As I try to bring you back

Where you can breathe

But its not up to me

You can drown alone

As if you were thrown

And deny you're alive

But if you get swept up with the tide

You still haven't died, and for now

I'll stay, right by your side
