lyrics

Six in the morning
and you're calling me
and you say you can't sleep
and you beg "sing to me."
Well I love you
but I hate it when
you make bad decisions
and you call me after them.

Whatever happened to the girl
who loved to face the world
with her tongue stuck out
and flipped bird flying high?
Even though it's not my fault,
I feel responsible
because I know this road.

Just know if I could make it better off,
I'd fix it if I could.
And know if I could change the way things are,
I would give anything I could,
but this is not an easy fix.
I know because I've seen it before.

I met her when I was 14
got her started smoking
and we improved our drinking.
By 16 she was tutoring me
and she was trying new things
and I didn't want to stop her.

Sometimes I think that it was me,
that I'm a toxic seed
that all these poison trees grow out of.
Sometimes I cannot fall asleep
because I have these dreams
that they're coming to drag me with them.

Just know if I could make it better off,
I'd fix it if I could.
And know if I could change the way things are,
I would give anything I could,
but this is not an easy fix.
I know because I've seen it before.

I wish to god that I could help her out
but she's too gone to benefit from help.
I wish that I could be a better friend
I wish I still knew how to be her friend.
