Why did it take me so long to understand?
Maybe I could have saved you from such pain
But I wouldn’t see
I refused to look closer
Now it’s too late

Why couldn’t I realize
It wasn’t all your fault
I know now
I’ve held your fate in my hands

You were trying
Trying so hard
To forget the past
The future
And I crushed the dreams you were holding on to so tightly

I ripped them away
I wouldn’t listen
I couldn’t see
You were just like me once
But I didn’t care

You were a killer
That’s all I heard
All I allowed myself to hear

I didn’t listen
Didn’t see the lost puppy
Starved for just one friend
You came when I called
I threw you in the dirt

Didn’t care that you were hurting
More than anyone else
And I did nothing

But I did

I helped destroy you
