Family

This one is in progress. It needs to be pure unconditional love and as painless as possible. It is intended to help someone see they do not live up to their own words or ideals and that is why they are sometimes very confused, anxious, and lost within themselves.

Until you face reality and see the things you do... your promises and best intentions will not save you... until you rise above your fears and make your own words true... you'll only find more apprehensions when you look inside you... you'll only find more anxious self-doubts - until you make your words true... you'll only repeat the same mistakes - as if they're something new.

Until you face reality
and face the things you do
your promises and best intentions
will not save you.

Until you rise above your fears
and make your own words true
you'll only find more apprehensions
when you look inside you.
you'll only find more anxious self-doubts
until you make your words true
you'll only repeat the same mistakes
as if they're something new.

no matter what happens
no matter what you do
I want you to be the best you can be
nothing changes what is true

I want the best for you


when I was thinking suicidal thoughts
you were nowhere around
when I called out to you for help
you just ignored the sound

when I was ready to give up
I had to reassure myself
so please don't act surprised that you
are not on my top shelf

maybe we were never friends
no less sister and brother
maybe the truth we need to face
is we just used each other

anytime you needed me
you always had safe space
this past year I needed you
and you just hid your face

you always called me BFF
but what did that mean?
you don't even act like a friend
tell me, where have you been?

but you still have my promise
to always be there for you
for you are my family
and my words are true

get over any guilt you feel
and cut through all the shame
this is not about hurting now
this is not about blame

this is simply facing truth
a reality check
I'll always be there for you
even when I am a wreck

the only change you'll see from me
when you knock on my door
is I might be a little sad
cuz I can't trust you anymore

I'll pick myself up by myself
I'll be fine on my own
you are still always welcome here
so never feel alone

just don't pretend that we are friends
I am your family
and no matter what happens now
you will always have me

you never need to feel alone
you will always have me
if you are ever on your own
you will always have me
for that is family
and we are family
yea we are family

I will always tell you the truth
even if you lie to me
I will always be there for you
for we are family



Until you face reality
accept the things you do
your promises and best intentions
will mean nothing to you

Until you rise above your fears
and make your own words true
you'll only find more apprehensions
when you look inside you.

You'll only find more anxiety
until you make your words true
you'll only repeat the same self-doubts
as if they're something new.


no matter what happens
no matter what you do
I want you to be the best you can be
nothing changes what is true

I want the best for you

we are what we do

How many time did we sit together
making promises to each other
How many times I called you my sister
and you called me your brother

How many times did we test our trust
and promise to always be there
Now I know I should not have believed it
when you said you'd care

And you still say you care
but you don't do it
you've broken your promise
I see right through it
Now I wonder if
you always knew it
that you would not follow through
oh don't you know
we are not what we say
we are what we do

I remember that day we sat in the car
I had a big decision to make
it depended on you doing something for me
and you knew my heart would break
if you didn't follow through on your committment
but you looked at me and promised you would
now I am falling down because you didn't do it
and we both know you could

And you still say you care
but you don't do it
you've broken your promise
I see right through it
Now I wonder if
you always knew it
that you would not follow through
oh don't you know
we are not what we say
we are what we do

Now I am letting go
I the trust we used to know
it hurts so much to feel
that it was never real

Oh, the letting go
is the hardest thing to show
but if I hide it anymore
it will be just like before

and I don't want to pretend
that you are my friend
it hurts more to pretend
than to face the end

I can no longer depend
on you to be a friend
I have to face the end
to get past the end
to move past the end
I am moving past the end

And I know this hurts and I know you'll cry
but I know it's better to say goodbye
than continue pretending this lie
is something we can depend on

And I you won't believe it's true
but this hurts me more than it hurts you
it's not what we say, we are what we do
so that is the line we should end on

unless... the chance to mend
is never really gone


Oh you still say you care
but you don't do it
you're still breaking your promise
I see right through it
Now I wonder if
you always knew it
that you would not follow through
oh don't you know
we are not what we say
we are what we do
we are what we do
we are what we do
