Always

If only you were here
To hold my head above bloody waters
We could make it through
You turned your back on me
And now I do the same to you.

You made me feel so hollow
How can the man that you looked up to
Turn around and say three words
That hurt more than you'll ever know.

You don't know what it feels like to be in my shoes.

You turned your back on me as I stood there and fell to the floor
You turned your back on me as I stood there and fell to the floor.

This time there's no reason for me
To turn around and scream for help.

But if only you were here
To hold my head above all those things you said to tie me down
I'm looking for forgiveness for something that I didn't even do.

How can you call yourself an idol
A person to trust?
How can I look so high up to you when you're always holding me down?
How can I look up so high when you're holding me down?
