i am a failure
i'll admit that
because i've failed you
as a friend
when you needed me the most
i was off doing everything except
being a better person for you
i haven't been who i should be
i wasn't there when you needed me
instead i've pushed you all away
(but you've all sprung back like rubber
and i have been like glue
i guess when you stick to me
i also stick to you)
yet you all still stayed
thanks? i guess
i want to promise you
i'll try to be a better person
better lover
better friend
better brother
but even if i suck
i'm not stupid
and i know not to make promises
i could never keep
