You entered my life like a seed being planted in poor soil
The chances of anything good happening; slim to none
It was a turbulent time with my soil rejecting you every time you tried
Killing your roots before they've even begun to sprout
I never gave you a chance
I'll admit that you made mistakes too
That your effort hurt me too
I was poor soil
No one ever took care of me the way they should have
No one ever gave me a chance
In spite of this you still kept growing
And without even realizing I had grown a dependence on you
Even if sometimes I just wanted to rip you out
You stayed and still kept growing
You gave me so many chances
You were so stubborn
No matter how hard I pulled
You were determined to make sure something good came out of me
Even if it meant hurting yourself
Running out of chances
I'm scared I broke you, that I pulled too hard
Because all I see is everything you worked so hard for lying on the cold pavement, bleeding.
I thought you were good for me, but you're just as shit as I am.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you wanted.
Guess I'm out of chances.
