Here we are,
sitting on the pavement
exactly where we started off.
Only you're bringing down my hopes for you
and they were pretty high to start with
so you might want to keep your mouth shut
or there's a chance we'll drown in self pity.

I think I'm done
filling your glass with truth
because I know you won't drink it,
like a little kid with their medicine.
Tell me,
am I wasting my breathe
with these lost words
that fall just short of your ears?
Am I wasting what youth I have
trying to revive what's left of yours?
Because I'm getting tired
and I know you think you are too
what's left,
but where we started off.

Only,
are you really the one without hope left,
mom
or am I?
