Withering Life

Complicated 

When I was born, 

You adored me more than everything,

I became your world and you became mine, 

You held my fingers when I grew up,

You had been there as pillar for me

From my mistakes to bloopers 

You were always there to take care of it 

How funny life has been 

I grew up under your shadow

Now here I stand 

With no idea of who I am 

While the world lives in happiness 

I am here broken 

Thinking of the words I shouldn't have said

About our fight that we had 

Pride it was that brought us then 

From the straight A student 

I sit with a cigarette in my hand 

Trying to get hold of myself 

Just not to give you a hint of what is going on with me 

You made me into who I am 

So why this distance 

Because I fell in love???

Or was it that you couldn't bare me moving out 

I tried to reason with you dad 

And look where it has brought us to 

She left me in ruins, with nothing but a pack of cigarettes and a six pack 

To think about what I have done wrong 

Where were you when I needed you the most 

When your son was in the wrong company 

Or when he needed support 

Instead of the smokes and booze, you could have helped 

It was pride that separated us then 

And love that held it together 

With the love now being lost 

You are in your own mystical world 

While I suffer in peace
