Lost Cause

You ask if I'm okay, there's a long pause I try to find the words to let you know I'm a lost cause I know you tried to help, had so much hope But your efforts were no match for the self hatred and dope I'd like to lie and pretend it's all okay But I can't keep pretending so just walk away I'm sick of both of us clinging to delusions I'm sick of the problems that stack up on top of solutions I'm never going to be who you think I should be My pretty face distracts you from what's plain to see I'm not worth the effort time or the prayers So go find a new project fix someone who cares I've given up and you should too Why are you here after all I put you through They all told you I was a loser what did you expect Just cut your losses have some self respect If love cured addiction we'd all be okay But I'm too far gone to pretend today
