Tough Love
I've never believed in tough love
I've always said it's something I couldn't do
But I've realize that I must do it
If I truly want to help you
I know this means not a single word I can utter
Nor even a hello
All I can do is be silent
Even though I miss you so
I ask myself everyday
How anyone could choose darkness
Over our light
But worst than that is the reality that your out there
In this ticking time bomb of a world
Trust me
You don't want to be the one holding the grenade
At the end of this fight
I want you to come back
I want you to experience the real life
I don't want you to find out the hard way
That darkness eventually offers nothing but pain
Pain so sharp it feels like you've been pierced by a knife
But I can't make you realize that
I can't save your life
Only HE can do that
Only YOU can do whats right
Maybe someday, some how
You'll get that shove you need
But until then
No matter how hard it maybe
Tough love is all I can give you
And all you will receive
