Bystander

I watched you slip so many times
I lost faith you would ever make things right

Gave you so many chances
Listened to so many promises
You broke every one of them without any semblance of hesitation
Heard so many excuses
Dissolved all my expectations
After being let down again and again I turned my back on a friend
Don't think I ever said I was sorry
I'm accepting part of this was on me
It got so hard to continue to have your back and stick up for you
We may have had a history I guess it didn't mean shit to me

Felt pushed away by your erratic behavior
No concern for your health or welfare
Relegated myself to the concept of seeing you in a casket

What a help I was just another motherfucker counting on you to screw up
You needed a brother not a fool losing his faith in you
