You say tough love is what it is.
You say
I have a problem and I need some help.

But really all I needed was you
at a time in my life where
nothing else mattered...

but you weren't there
and instead of laying shattered

I settled for the one who was.

Passing shadows,

Yeah, there you go.  You have the right idea.

I like it, short and to the point.

Did you know, there is a Yellow Brick Road in Moundsville, West Virginia?
