Empathy Hostage

cry? sometimes I just want to say your life is yours to keep or throw away When you want me to make up the rules to a game I don't know how to play Don't know what I'm supposed to do to keep you safe from that thing called you If everything you say is true You're gonna do it anyway Am I the only one that's gonna cry when you finally get the guts to die Do you just need someone to say goodbye Or someone to talk ya down I know you're hurting desperately I know you're ready for eternity' Does it help to know that you're hurting me since I'm the only one around Oh tell me that you feel better now, that we can talk and work it out some how Won't you tell me that you found a way take a deep breath and see another day Did you pick me out so I could be The one who stands staring helplessly the lucky lucky man who gets to see Just how serious you are Well I hope you know you're being cruel to choose a poor empathetic fool to watch you do that thing you're gonna do You finally get to be the star oh tell me that you feel better now that we can talk and work it out some how won't you tell me that you found a way take a deep breath and live another day will it be a razor blade or gun perhaps a nice high dive would be more fun The pills are painless when the day is done since I'm the one who gets to feel Go ahead and make it quick and clean if not for me it would be sight unseen God how I wish I had a time machine to take you back when you were real Oh tell me that you feel better now that we can talk and work it out somehow Oh won't you tell me that you found a way Take a deep breath and breathe another day
