Lift Us Up

So many times he crossed the line
Overboard
Overdrawn
Overlooked
It's over now
She looks at herself no one to turn to
Then she wonders how it got this far
Led to pain and plight
She renders false pretense to make him fight harder

Lift him up to watch him crawl
So simple when we're young
Laughing as it all unfolds
Self-righteous grudge is sold

Retrospect never shined so bright
Different goals
Different lives
Never saw eye to eye
Inflated stories
Rumor mills run their course back to the source
Words in circles
Or lies
He tries to make her feel so used
Plans her pain all in vain so he can close the door

Lift her up to watch her fall
Her broken heart grows numb
Laughing as it all unfolds
Self-righteous grudge is sold

All that you breed will become your disease
And will only hurt ourselves
It's the love that you make
Not the love that you take
And that keeps us alive
And you give and you take and you learn from mistakes
And we all will survive
And the sky may grow dark
And the sun will then set
But tomorrow is another start
People try to hold you down
Success eats them alive
If you falter you will soon find quick responses from behind
But if you prevail
They'll turn inside out
Act as if they never even had a doubt

Lift us up to watch us fall
Naive that we've caught on
Jealous right from the start
We've only just begun
