I was there for you. I stood by your side. I wiped every tear from your bright blue eyes. I will never forget the darkness in those eyes on the day you found out your mom had died.

I let you scream at me when you were mad. I let you beat the dreams out of the only brother you've ever had. I led you to my bedroom when you were sick, but we both know I was never really your pick.

I laid your head on my chest whenever you were feeling anxious. I was there for you when you were at your worst, held your hand at the wake, but turns out some emotions were fake.

You couldn't be there for me, I was too sad and you didn't know how to wipe away my tears, you've been able to tell that I've felt this way for years.

I was too anxious to lay my head on your chest, too angry to be on my best. You only loved me when I was happy, when I was doing good. You couldn't take me at my worst. You couldn't put my emotions first.

I was there for you, but none of that matters now... you taught me how to take love lightly... that's for sure!
