I have more to give

I tremble in these shadows, wrestling all forms of demons 'Cause, after you, I've learned how to soundly defeat them For far too long, I've put up with the degradation of your behavior After a life time, I realized you don't need me; you need a savior I'm no longer happy being miserable with someone who's so focused on themselves My useless memories are in a hidden spot, on top of overflowing, careless shelves No more treating lost days like endless rows of open prison cells I have more to give, and I deserve better, so I'll do my best for someone else I will no longer be there to catch you every single time you fall You never truly hit rock bottom; is that why you don't feel at all? Now, as I walk the dog, the bright sun shines I won't lose years of myself to her landmines
