What Happens

I can\'t tell
If we\'re bad people
Or just bad together

You try to use what I love
Who I love
To get to me

You try to weaponize your tears
See if you can make me cry too
And it hurts
But not for why you think

You\'re not supposed to be
Trying to pull me back
Trying to stop me
From being a better me

What kinda parent
Stunts their child\'s growth?

You think I wanted it
To end this way?

Me feeling like
My only escape is states away?
Because if I\'m too close
You\'ll pull me backwards

Progress can\'t be made
With a foot stuck in the past
It\'s scary
Yes

But I\'m just as afraid of what happens
If I stay here
Then if I go
