Tailspin

I think the hardest part

the part that hurts the most

Is how much I love you.

How you could toss us aside?

Was it your image?

Or was it your pride?

 

I’m stuck in a tailspin

And I can’t get back in control

My vision blurry

The gravity relentless.

What a poor tortured soul

 

All that’s left an empty core

Full of anger and resentment

And I don’t have enough left

To give you all the love

 

A broken heart

That’s what this is

I hate you but I love you

A brothers love is a brothers love

And I’ll never see you again.

 

I’m stuck in a tailspin

And I can’t get back in control

My vision blurry

The gravity relentless

What a poor tortured soul.

 

Call me naive

For believing there was good left in you

Or at least in part

I’m embarrassed for caring as much

But it’s because of love

That’s all it ever was

 

But now enjoy the silence

I know it rips you apart

The anxiety and the worry

I’m sure you’ve tried to hide it

You wear that mask

Always have, always will

 

I’m stuck in a tailspin

And I can’t get back in control

My vision blurry

The gravity relentless

One brother died, the other lived

We can’t go back to who we were
