You're just making it worse

As you try to drag the end

On and on

Because you can't stand the thought

Of this coming to and end

You're just making it worse

Thinking what you had could come back

That it could be the same

If you tried to gain it back

You're just making it worse

When you say you're going to leave

Admittedly, you're lying through your teeth

Because you know deep down you can't ever leave

You're just making it worse

Working to relight that spark

Reusing your year old matches

Once you see even a speck of a spark

You're just making it worse

By not letting go

Never leaving their place

Not having anywhere else to go

You're just making it worse

Prolonging that pain

Sitting in it's flame

Trying so hard to ignore the burning pain

You're just making it worse

For you two

You're not getting anything out of this

You will never be able to

You're just making it worse

When you constantly contact them

They don't want your message

So stop trying to persuade them

You're just making it worse

Even if you think you're making it better

You're trying to revive something that died so long ago

Something that died for the better

You're just making it worse.
