When You Do More Harm Than Good

by Sean Brady   Aug 6, 2011


I remember when I used to be happy
When I used to get excited
I used to enjoy the little things in life
When I thought enemies could be united

I'm so depressed and I don't show it
I've lost what means the most to me and I know it
I'm so sorry for the things I've done and the things I haven't
I've dropped to depths I've never seen, depths that can't be lit

I don't need you to constantly remind me what I've done wrong
When the mistakes I've made I've known all along
I was raised not to ask anything of anyone
When the help I need from you is the only one

I promise you I'll be long and gone soon enough
Out of sight out of mind before you call my bluff
I promise I won't even come back when I'm in town
All the emotions I've accumulated I will drown

If you think you'll be at my graduation you're mistaken
If you tell me you are helping you'll be outspoken
I'm changing my ways to be the man I want to be
I'm turning into the man you blew your chances to ever see
