Your Fight
I wrote this the other day because my friend is blowing a break-up so far out of proportion that I want to shake her so damn hard. She needs a wake-up call that she's not getting anywhere with this attitude to life - she always feels like she has to need someone, a boy to rely on, even if she makes out that she's being independent while she's hanging off their arm - but telling her that really isn't getting through.
I gave up and wrote this instead.
Enjoy.
The shoulder to cry on,
Becomes overused,
The soft words of comfort,
Mean nothing to you,
You’ve gone down this road,
Too many times before,
Waiting for the white knight,
To knock upon your door,
There’s no hero in this life,
There’s no one to end the night,
Time that you just,
Stopped pretending,
Time you learnt to do what's right,
The tears rolling freely,
Get boring with time,
The time that you’re wasting,
On this is a crime,
It’s time you stopped acting,
Like a damsel in distress,
And face life a survivor,
Help yourself instead,
There’s no hero in this life,
There’s no one to end the night,
Time that you just,
Stopped pretending,
And learn to face your fight,
The world’s a page that’s blank until,
You learn to hold the pen,
There’s no hero in this life,
There’s no one to end the night,
Time that you just,
Stopped pretending,
To take control of your own life,
Time to learn to face your fight,
"If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, I'd hide somewhere faraway..."
