I could complain That I'm not good enough And I could say that I'm stuck But where would that get me when you say That I'm only overthinking and over reacting? Where would that get me when you Say that I'm only doing this to myself? I'm holding off because they said it gets better But how much can I take? I'm holding off because they said it gets better But how much longer can I wait? How much longer can I wait? You're only here out of obligation If we weren't flesh and blood Would you even be here next to me if I wasn't your youngest son? Because you're here right now but Where were you when that loneliness set in? When the desperation took control and I could take anymore of it I'm holding off because they said it gets better But how much can I take? I'm holding off because they said it gets better But how much longer can I wait? How much longer can I wait? It was the hottest summer that I could ever remember With no one around to say it could get better So I called the short list of the people I'd missed And I told them I loved them but I'm not letting myself get over this
