A conversation in my head
So , listen Rob, I really think you and I should have a conversation
Ive been sitting here quiet giving you time but Im starting to lose my patience
You brood and you sulk and pity yourself
And frankly its not good for our health
Youre dragging me down, always depressed
Just being around you is hard to digest
Im craving something more from life than this miserable existence
Everything's crashing down around us and you put up no resistance
Do you think the world just revolves around you?
That what you do doesn't affect me too?
This is getting boring I need something new
The good times have become far too few
Ive been thinking about leaving you but where could I go?
I can't survive without you and that pains me to know
Make a change before this love turns to hate
If we work together we can make something great
You've still got life which means there's a chance
Come on man snap out of this trance
Ok that's enough
Cut him some slack hes been through a lot of shit
You think hes supposed to just up and forget?
His wife cheated on him not once but twice
Gave away his trust and paid a high price
He was injured and confined to his room for a year
You remember that feeling, Im sure its quite clear
When he needed them most his family left him alone
Like a stranger in the house, some kind of unknown
Left with nothing but us and the darkness he keeps
And you know the darkness just festers and seeps
It never takes breaks it never sleeps
Whatever it wants to take it reaps
You talk like this is something so easy to fix
Like hopelessness snd despair is how he gets his kicks
Hes in a slump, he'll figure it out
The last thing he needs from us is doubt
You wanna help then get off his case
He doesn't need you all up in his face
Are you two done?
He was destroyed, it made him pathetic
Im in the wrong? You 2 just don't get it
Ive always been there for him having his back
Im trying to put him on the right track
Hes been fucked since birth Im not to blame
The people might change, the results are the same
Im just trying to show him the way to release
I cant watch him like this, the man needs some peace
Hes suffered enough, he should let go
He dies more each day but this way is too slow
Everyone leaves its a helluva blow
Its a mercy for him, trust me I know
You know Im right Rob, nothing left for you here
Do the right thing, make it all disappear
One final act can make it all go away
You don't have to struggle even for one more day
Do it right now. Make all the pain end.
Im looking out for you cuz Im your best friend.
