Bittersweet - Homebound

There is only so much tension that I can take

Before my misplaced guilt expires I’ll begin to break

What’s left to say, go on and prove me wrong

Your guard was up and I kept quiet for far too long

And I tried to think with my head and not my heart

When I prolonged this problem and kept it in the dark

Bring this to light, the writings on the wall

You can’t jump this fence, not this time

I won’t be here to break your fall

I’m sick and tired of helping those who cannot help themselves

The seasons change and your friendships will fade

You can’t promise what you cannot keep

And I won’t be here to break your fall

I’ll bite my tongue till it bleeds

The taste reminds me of bittersweet memories and misery

Pieced you together like a broken plate

I tried to keep you falling from the same mistakes

Besides, you can see the signs of wear and tear

Lost all control beyond repair

Open your eyes become more aware

Breathe it all in

I’m sick and tired of helping those who cannot help themselves

The seasons change and your friendships will fade

You can’t promise what you cannot keep

And I won’t be here to break your fall

I hope that you take note and realise where we went wrong

I’ve said my piece, now spare me all the grief

You can’t promise what you cannot keep

And I won’t be here to break your fall
