Sometimes people are at their worst in a hardest single moment A weary traveller a lion with a thorn A criminal pleading atonement While these messages open heart warmed souls They must be well informed On how it stays In their own way A man under a rock isn't always a friend A lion with a thorn won't always appreciate the mend A criminal who knows wrongs Doesn't always make the right choice Even when they sound believable When you have empathy, the deepest parts of you Want to give give give More time More love More and more of you It hurts to know the world can have such things But a promise of trust isn't earned on wings You're not the angel for doing unnecessary things to save a chance of what you're imagining Sometimes people aren't good Sometimes things won't heal Sometimes the wrongs they did they must carry all of it Sometimes predators lurk in tears and real loss You'll see them crumble and cry You'll see them suffer the most But what of yous did it cost To give yous all away? What if you gave to yous instead today? I'm not saying these things to be unkind But unkind is also a state of mind The feigned injury or real ones- some people in a bind They want you to fall into the snake pit Because when they're alone with all they've done They need company for the Web they've spun You can watch the whole thing But remain the one who steps far away Grieve their bad mistake Grieve their immaturity Grieve the life they made for themselves when they thought of no other person If you take their pain You won't even gain a thing but injury Sometimes people aren't good Sometimes things won't heal Sometimes the wrongs they did they must carry all of it Sometimes predators lurk in tears and real loss You'll see them crumble and cry You'll see them suffer the most But what of yous did it cost To give yous all away? What if you gave to yous instead today? I won't be sorry for giving to myself I won't be sorry for protecting me this time I won't be sorry for seeing every wound they show And needing to know more about it This isn't about children, it's not about a survivor who is truly hurt Its about the burden that we carry when we care for the worst The worst have pain too But its not upto to save them Sometimes people aren't good Sometimes things won't heal Sometimes the wrongs they did they must carry all of it Sometimes predators lurk in tears and real loss You'll see them crumble and cry You'll see them suffer the most But what of yous did it cost To give yous all away? What if you gave to yous instead today? What if you give to yourself and your team inside What if when the predators cry It's not needed in your life? Bye bye....oooh bye bye To the me that gives away To a person I can't save Bye bye oh- bye bye To the me that rescues the ones who don't deserve it I'm not sorry for when I step away I'm just sorry, they never learned
