Lonely Street

It never once occurred to me that i cared too much...now i see all too clearly the one way street i was walking on  
I thought you would be there too  
right by my side  
foolish me  
I wish I noticed that I was on this one way street  
no turning back  
no second thoughts  
no one there to stop me  
no one there to give me advice  
no one there to keep me from tripping  
when you needed someone to help you I was there  
when you held on to that heavy burden  
i suggested to carry it for you  
I did what I thought was okay at the time  
when you cried I was there  
when you laughed  
when you lost your will to live  
I brought you back  
you needed someone who wouldn't turn there back on you  
I choose to be that person  
even your family didn't want to help you  
but sadly once you realized all you needed was a helping hand  
you decided on your own to push me away  
once you got back on your feet  
I didn't realized I would be walking that lonely street again  
I thought you cared but I was wrong....again  
you through me aside  
I was nothing to you I suppose  
but you was something to me a man without a purpose  
you told me “There is no point in living if you can't be seen”  
and I said “There is always something to live for you  
just gotta open your mind and heart to see what's actually in front of you”  
noticing now that I was just a flotation device  
and you was just a drowning man in the ocean  
I seen walking along the road that day
