There grew a distance between us
I let the beast get the better of me
First I was your hammock
Swaying your troubled life to an ease
Taking your stress into my hands
Always there to pick you up
I was proud to be your rock
Honored to be the shoulder you cried on
But the gratitude didn’t come
Disrespect spewed from your mouth
Is this the thanks you are bestowing on me
Would my effort mean anything if I just sat by and watched you tear your life down again
I care too much for that
But yet the beast that has been inside me
And has used its strength to keep you safe
And it at last is tired
So this is where we part
You bit the hand that fed you
And this beast bites back
Did it teach you anything
I hope so
I hope you have learned to stand on your own feet
I hope all my help was not in vain
Go forth and be happy
Don’t put up with bull shit
Don’t let him hurt you
I am walking away
Allowing the distance to grow between us
I cannot watch
I cannot support
This beast has a heart
And its heart is broken
I let the beast get the better of me
First I was your hammock
Swaying your troubled life to an ease
Taking your stress into my hands
Always there to pick you up
I was proud to be your rock
Honored to be the shoulder you cried on
But the gratitude didn’t come
Disrespect spewed from your mouth
Is this the thanks you are bestowing on me
Would my effort mean anything if I just sat by and watched you tear your life down again
I care too much for that
But yet the beast that has been inside me
And has used its strength to keep you safe
And it at last is tired
So this is where we part
You bit the hand that fed you
And this beast bites back
Did it teach you anything
I hope so
I hope you have learned to stand on your own feet
I hope all my help was not in vain
Go forth and be happy
Don’t put up with bull shit
Don’t let him hurt you
I am walking away
Allowing the distance to grow between us
I cannot watch
I cannot support
This beast has a heart
And its heart is broken
