Set You Free

It's been years since I've seen the real you

Your mom and daddy always argued and it's got to you too

I've tried to set you free from the abuse, but you stayed

Honestly I didn't think I would effect you this way

So why... why do you stay?

Why don't you leave?

Why don't you break from the shackles and set yourself free?

It's because you love me

Because you love me

It's been three years since I've seen you actually smile

Your daddy was the same way and look where he is now - 6 feet under

I'm telling you I'm not the one to mess with

If you keep pushing yourself on me you're gonna be the one that regrets it

Honestly, this feeling was supposed to be temporary

You've abused me too much and now you remain stationary

I can't believe that you chose me, I was supposed to be secondary

Just a thought in the back of your head

Out of all the solutions you chose me instead

Why though?

You know I'm no good

I confess there was a time back when I loved you but now I've seen what I've done to you

I'm sorry

I should've never let you notice me at that party

You should've just stayed in the books and never listened to the malarkey

I mean... I feel bad cause you couldn't even find your car key

So you just found more reason to abuse and get off me

You even forgot your own baby in the car seat

So DCFS had to come and take him away from his mommy

I'm so heartless

There's no reason for my existence

And even though I've tried to set you free you go against my better wishes

Please go

You don't wanna make the same mistake that your daddy did

Please go to rehab, I don't wanna see you dead

I don't want you to ever use me again

Get better, get your son back and get away from those people you call friends

Hurry! Please do it before it's to late

If you keep treating me like how you are, I'd hate to see what would come of your fate

Cause see, I like to mess up lives

I like to mess with your system, that's how your daddy died

I like to take form of abuse in a man

I would mess up your whole life if I ever get the chance

So why are you still here?

Just leave me be..

I'm more of a fallback than an asset, don't you see?

I'm more worse than how people explain me on the tv

So please, I'm giving you this chance... to let go.. and be free
