These were the days that I thought I knew,
what my life would come to.
I was so set on you.
I couldn't set my mind on anything else.
I gave it all away for you.
I jumped as high as I could just to make you happy.
I longed to see you smile, that's all I've ever tried to do.
I was being the man you wanted me to be.
These were the days that I felt so alive.
I felt like I had it all in my hands.
You were my world and I was your everything.
I always told you
that I would carry every bit of weight that was on your back
on mine.
I just wish you'd do the same for me.
I can't carry the both of us.
Either my legs break in two,
or I learn how to drop you,
but I'm afraid of life without you,
so I'll go on with broken legs.
The effort was equal, now it's just being put forth by me.
What's next for you and I?
I continue to pray.
I lift what's left of my hands to grasp on the answers.
I hope these hands are strong enough to push you away,
there's not much in me to carry your weight.
