4 A.M. Thoughts

Listen to me

Listen to me
We used to do everything together
You used to not hate me
What changed
Listen to me
I made you who you are
I do care about you, kid
I always have
Listen to me
Because right now
Im all you got
Just like old times
Listen to me
I'll show you the old ways
And show you
How they expect you to be
Because right now
You are ruining your family name
Listen to me
Because ive said it before
I know you better than you know yourself
I know how you think
I know how you function
And most importantly
I know what you've gone through
Nobody else does
Not like i do, kid
Listen to me
I get it
Life sucks right now
So you just smile that fake smile
And no one says a word
Are we back
To the way we used to be
Listen to me kid
You never had anyone but me
And you got by just fine
What is so different now
You still have no one
But you're hurting?
Listen to me kid
People leave
They have your entire life
You know that
So what is so different about this time
Do they really mean that much to you
Listen to me
You never actually had anybody
It was all fake
You are fooling yourself thinking it wasnt
The one person besides me
That cares for you and will listen
Is 600 miles away
Listen to me kid
You are better than this
You know better
This is not how you were raised
So listen to me
Because i get it
You hurt
But this has gone on too long
Its time to face facts
And just stop caring
Let me take over
Just like old times
Just like the way it should be
Listen to me
Put on that fake smile
And say everything is okay
Build your walls so high
That you cant see them anymore
Because its just me and you now
Just like it used to
Like it should be
Because this is the way you were raised
