Let You Down

Feels like we're on the edge right now

I stand at the edge of the cliff, my closest friend of 17 years at my side.

I wish that I could say I'm proud

The wind engulfs me, allowing my wavy brunette-ombre hair to flow freely behind me.

I'm sorry that I let you down

"Logan," I sigh and look down at my feet, "I can't stay."

Let you down

Out of the corner of my eye, I can see hurt clearly etched across his face.

All these voices in my head get loud

"I don't have a future here." I look at him, pity on my facial features.

I wish that I could shut them out

My emerald orbs lock with his blue ones, and I look away, down the cliff face.

I'm sorry that I let you down

"I know . . . I know I let you down somewhere along the road . . ." I sob, tears beginning to stain my cheeks.

L-l-let you down

Guilt overrides me. I know how Logan hates to see me upset.

Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment

"Did I disappoint you?" He whispers lightly, slipping his hand into mine.

Doing everything I can, I don't wanna make you disappointed

All I can manage is a shake of my head.

It's annoying

"Tell me. Why. Please." He murmurs and uses his other hand to turn my face towards him, placing it gently under my chin.

I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did wasn't ever tryna make an issue for you

I jerk my chin from his hand and look away.

But, I guess the more you thought about everything, you were never even wrong in the first place, right?

His grip on my hand tightens, and I cast a tear-filled glance at it.

Yeah, I'ma just ignore you

"I know you aren't ignoring me. That's not like you."

Walking towards you, with my head down, lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you

I remove my hand from his and turn, so I was now walking on the cliff face.

Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you

"Skylar."

Very loyal?

"Stop."

Shoulda had my back, but you put a knife into my hands before

"Sky-"

What else should I carry for you?

"Just stop."

I cared for you, but

"Please. I care for you."

Feels like we're on the edge right now

I continue walking the razors-edge, unaware of how close I really was.

I wish that I could say I'm proud
