You tried to hide it for so long
But I could see right through the mask that you had plastered on
I denied my assumptions hoping the evidence wasn’t enough
But now I know for sure
Should I keep quiet or speak up?

The pros and cons weigh heavy as the internal fight begins
How can I choose sides when I know neither one can win?

I watch you slowly deteriorate to the point of no return
What if it’s too late?
The more you change, the more I tighten my grasp on the person you were in hopes to bring them back
I know I’ve held on longer than I should
But, I never thought the day would come when I’d look into your eyes
And know that you are gone for good

Each choice has its risks
I just have to decide which ones I can live with
There’s a chance of backfire if you get better by yourself
And the likelihood to lose you if I break down and get you help

If you knew I knew, you’d assure me not to be concerned
But I know what you’d do if the roles were reversed

I watch you slowly deteriorate to the point of no return
What if it’s too late?
The more you change, the more I tighten my grasp on the person you were in hopes to bring them back
I know I’ve held on longer than I should
But, I never thought the day would come when I’d look into your eyes and
Please tell me that I’m wrong, please tell me it’s a lie
That you are gone for good
