Break the cycle

Break the cycle

Waste

Your mother came up to me,
she wanted answers only she should know,
only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
with the tears that rolled down her face.
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words
They can't replace,
the life you
the life you waste.

How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem that
There were no more options for you?
I cant explain how I feel
I've been there many times before.
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words
They don't replace
the life you waste

Did daddy not love you
Or did he love you just too much
Did he control you
Did he live through you at your cost
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

For not having the strength in your heart to pull through
I've had doubts
I have failed
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands

But these words
They don't replace
the life you waste
