Karli

Let's skip this, forget this, leave it behind
I'll admit, you're the whisper in my ear
the friend I know I was lucky to find
the fact that I miss you, is now so clear

Drop me off a cliff, let me hang off the side
watch me grip the edge, let the blood drip
if you catch me, I'll live to enjoy the ride
if you push me, I'll die knowing I let us slip

I admit you were right, the things you told me
everything you know, everything you live for
I can't stand being strong, I want you to see
In comparison, you and the alcohol, you mean more.

I'm quiting, I hope you know, everything is done
I know I don't need it, but I need you instead
I was being stubborn, I wanted to be cool, but you won.
onto a clean, well formed path, it's me you've led

So can we skip the I'm sorry, I want you to know
I am sorry, really truly, just tell me, where?
where were you when I needed you, where'd you go?
You must admit, it's somewhat, unfair

I was honestly there for you, when you were down
but I was down, I was lost and you pushed me away
I was always there, even if involved being a clown
I would cry with you and laugh for you each day

Someone told me, that behind my back you think I'm a slut
nice, thanks for that, it hurts, it does.
Do you really think that? Well.. maybe I am, somewhat
but that's changed, so it doesn't matter even if I was

Honest to god Karli, I miss you so fucking much
I hope you realize how much you effect me
You change my thoughts, opinions and such
you're the exact person I've always wanted to be...

I was worried about you falling
And just moving from my grip
crashing and thrashing at my attention
so I ran like a child, and I indeed, let you slip
I didn't wanna see you drunk or high
I didn't want to hear about your night before
I wanted you to come to me when you had to cry
Come to me when I needed to prove them wrong
you aren't a whore

I'll take care of you if you take care of yourself.
Because I can't help you if you don't even believe.
You're a strong girl, babe, this is true.
Though sometimes you wear your heart on your sleeve.

Don't let the bitches get to you.
You don't need booze, boobs, or bongs to be cool.
