☔️More to Life🍀

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
She's gone, she's finally left me. I shouldn't have put so much onto her,

I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Because now my support is gone forever.

Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing and why can't I let it go
I put everything on her and expected that she'd be here for me. Why isn't she now?

There's gotta be more to life
She was it, my best friend, my ride or die, my support, and she just leaves me like this?

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
No warning? No signs? No apology? And I bet there's no guilt either, what a backstabber

'Cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking
I mean, what was I supposed to do? Not get help? I needed her!

there must be more to life
And she just left, left me alone, she didn't care, or at least didn't show it.

Well it's life,
What's her excuse for that? She 'needed' a break?

but I'm sure,
I always need a break too, but I don't just leave her!

there's gotta be more than wanting more
She's selfish and she must be jealous that she can't be a good friend like me

~

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
I don't wanna be around this girl anymore

Here in this moment
She tells me everything, and yeah, I wanted her to open up

I'm halfway out the door
But not just to me, to all her friends, she told me too much

Onto the next thing,
I don't need to know all that! I know I should listen, but I'm not a therapist!

I'm searching for something that's missing
I have my own life, and I know I said I wanted her to open up, but that's too much information!

There's gotta be more to life
I just wanted to help, not become her only source for help, I'm not reliable enough for that.

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cutting her off was wrong, I think, but her behavior was toxic!

'Cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking
I had the right to do that, right? I need time for myself, I need to have my own life

there must be more to life
Not only was my life hers, but eventually, I didn't have one anyway.

Well it's life,
I regret it...I regret it, but I don't want to fix it.

but I'm sure,
She'll move on...right? She'll be okay without me...

there's gotta be more
I'm doing her a favor...

I'm wanting more
I'm doing myself a favor.

I'm always waiting on something other than this
Then as bad timing goes, they saw each other across the street.

Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed
She's still in town, she never really left me, she wants me back!

There's gotta be more to life
Why here? Why now? Why is no one else around? I'm so dead.

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
I need to get her back into my life.

'Cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking
I need to take back my life.

there must be more to life
"You came back for me!"

Well it's life, but I'm sure
"We're over."

There's gotta be more to life
"What? No! You can't just throw my friendship out, I need you!"

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
"I can and I will, that's my choice"

'Cause the more that I'm tripping out thinking
"You don't get to make that choice!"

there must be more to life
"Yes I do, I get to make my own choices because it's my life!"

Well it's life, but I'm sure
"No! I need you, how do I live without you? I'll die if you leave!"

There's gotta be more to life
"I'm sorry that you don't like it, but its final"

More to life, more to life
"If I die, it's your fault!"

There's gotta be more to life
"You know you can find someone else!"

More to life, more to life
"No one will ever be like you!"

There's gotta be more to life
I hope not, I was too weak to leave, I don't want that for anyone else

More to life
And as she came to that revelation, the other girl ran off into the city, having lost the war.
