You try to save him,
To find out you’re only drowning yourself.
The more you reach out,
The more his head starts filling with doubt.
He’s in this world for only pleasing himself.
The more you try,
The more you sink.
You cry and think why.
He doesn’t care,
He’s living for himself.
Lost in a world where everybody roots for him.
Sometimes people just can’t see the way out.
For narrow is the path.
