The Hardest Thing
Dear friend
I’ve got something to say about the way you’ve been spending your time
Throwing everything away
You throw yourself away
You’re so many different people now, to the same people everyday
And even you don’t know who you are anymore, you’ve lost the real you along the way
You were the boy with the twinkle in your eyes, how they have dulled
Eroded by your lies
The hardest thing I will ever do is watch you being killed
By someone I can’t protect you from, I can’t
Protect you from you, I can’t protect you from you
I’ll never give up on you
But I cannot take your side
I’m holding out for the brother I love
The man locked up inside
Watching you erase your fairy tale line by line, running out of things to lose
And we’re running out of time
The hardest thing I will ever do, is watch you being killed
By someone I can’t protect you from, I can’t
Protect you from you, I can’t protect you from you
I’ve just got to stay strong
I’ve gotta stay true
So I may fight the devil in your eyes
While I keep on
Loving you
(Loving you, oh)
