Lyrics
Looking at the glass half empty,
'cause no one's here to help me,
You pushed me down,
You pushed me out,
You pushed me away,
And yet I stay.
I don't know why,
I don't know how,
I can take all this pain,
And live for another day.
I don't know what,
Is wrong with me,
I use to stop that,
Of which hurts me.
I take these words,
Though they hurt,
Still I stick around,
And lay my head upon the ground.
You pushed me down,
You pushed me out,
You pushed me away,
And yet I stay.
I'm shocked to say,
"I am happy",
Though I know it's a lie,
I slowly believe it over time.
You Think you're helping me out,
But all you're doing is putting me down,
Words of anger directed at me,
When all I did was fill your needs.
I held your head above your waist,
So you didn't have to feel crazed,
I'm starting to wonder who needs who,
For I sure as hell don't need you.
You push me down,
You push me out,
You push me away,
And yet I stay,
'cause I pity,
The weak.
I hold your head up high,
Make you feel pretty inside,
The words slip "I love you",
And silence takes over the room.
You act like you never heard me,
Then try to distract me with the T.V.,
Or try to change the subject,
What am I, a total reject.
I only stay to help thee,
You think you don't need me,
Your independence is flooded out,
With your every pout.
You try to push me down,
You try to push me out,
You try to push me away,
But I have to stay,
Because I know your ways,
Will only cause delays,
On the path you walk in shame.
Your growing dependence,
Is growing intensively,
It brings out the best in me,
While you sit there in disbelief.
I'm sorry to say,
The only reason I stay,
Is 'cause I pity,
Those who are weak.
You know how mean you are,
You know how bad you are,
You know you do it on purpose,
But you don't know why I do all of this.
I know you're trying to get rid of me,
Because you tell me in my dreams,
You wake me from my sleep,
Just to say "Goodbye",
And yet I stay, by your side,
Even though I'm out of sight,
Of those beautiful eyes.
I will agree to leave,
But I will always watch over thee.
