Wrecking thing

I tried to make him better,

At least, as long as we were together.

We still talk sometimes, but when I see

What he's up to, I can't help but think

Damn, you truly can't change a man, can you?

He's going back to his old ways

Doing everything he can to ruin his own life.

Here, a cigarette, there, an empty bottle.


I'm fearing what's next,

Maybe because I still care so deeply

About that stupid guy.

Even if I try,

I can't deny

He's still a part of me, somewhere, somehow

And, even if I don't like it, I have to face it.

He's dumb but I once loved it.


Fear plagued me, plagued us,

So many years spent in dim lighting.

One day he told me I was the best thing

That had happened to him.


So many things on my mind, but at least,

Since we're not together anymore

I don't cry myself to sleep like I used to.
