Adults Are the Real Monsters

I made promises to you for two years
You were in the back of mind
Just waiting for the right time
Finally you came back home and I let you into mine
You spent so many nights asleep on my couch

Prepping you for interviews and talking about our future too
I was excited to be doing what we wanted in the city
It was always supposed to be you and me

Then you got hit hard
You lost the way to hear for a while
But we picked you up and carried you through
When you didn’t think you’d make it to the next day
You made a wager where the consequence would leave me behind

And you’d still be unhappy just like I know you’ll be
When you realize this song is about you
I want to pull you aside and selfishly say
Don’t do this to me

You’re the only friend I really tease because you do the same to me
But this joke’s gone too far
I know you’re worried about your scars
I’ll still hold you like I did on your birthday
And tell you it will be okay

And you’d still be unhappy just like I know you’ll be
When you realize this song is about you
I want to pull you aside and selfishly say
Don’t do this to me
