Dreaded Zone

[Verse]
I accept your mistakes and endure your punishments
When you have a problem I am the solution
Your secrets are treasures I keep hidden
The qualities that define you, I know all of them
I can sense your distress with the simplest clue
My advice and feedback are never untrue
Disagreements strengthen our bond
But to me you could never be wrong
My perception on you views you as royalty
Giving me the urge to care for you unconditionally
Being your safeguard is one of my top obligations
As well as bestowing to you my undivided attention
News you want to relay, anything you want to share
Is told to me before anyone else is aware
The first to defend your honor, the last to persecute
I'm impossible to replace, there is no substitute

[Chorus]
Bound to this Dreaded Zone of incessant rejection
I face manipulation chained to unfair compensation
Was it a mistake to think I could have just one opportunity
To know the joy of being half of a perfect unity

[Verse]
Your gift of devotion is otiose
It's seldom towards me who deserves it most
Others deceive and hurt you, are the reasons you cry
Abusing your immunity to saying goodbye
I try to pry to release you from their hold
To convince you they're only fool's gold
You're a rare gem that solely I can see
The value of in its entirety
Unfortunately, you've misread my role
Oblivious I'm the piece that could make you whole
Arrived at this crossroads, forced to choose
Between a life of loneliness or one of pursuit
Either's outcome we both lose
Because we refuse to stop being misused
You chase after something you consistently ignore
Claiming you have less when I am everything and more

[Chorus]
Bound to this Dreaded Zone of incessant rejection
I face manipulation chained to unfair compensation
Was it a mistake to think I could have just one opportunity
To know the joy of being half of a perfect unity

[Verse]
You aren't a treatment, you're a cure
An antidote I'm unable to capture
I invest in you getting nothing in return
You're a reoccurring lesson I cannot learn
Impairing me with your enchanting distractions
I disregard your obscene actions
Unlike my deceptive competition
I receive a minimal amount of recognition
Sometimes you show appreciation for my compassion
Then in compliments you deliver confusion
Stating why I'm amazing, my partner will be lucky
But you and I are best in the place we're in currently
Complications would arise if you requited my desire
You selfishly hoard a prize I should've long ago acquired
Letting us twine is an idea you constantly decline
I have the person I've always wanted, but will never truly be mine
