I have pulled them from the fire
kept them from burning
jumped in the water
kept them from drowning
I burned and I drowned
no one saved me from the flames
no one saved me from the flood
I learned from the blood
pouring from my veins
no one applied pressure
to the wound no one
did a thing to ease the pain
I learned the lesson
on suffering I had to
before I bled to death
if I have to go through
then why in the hell am I
trying to carry you
why am I laying hands on you
when I can't save myself
why am I keeping your stuff
in my one bedroom when
you have a 4 bedroom house
I'm crying for you and you
laughing at me I'm tired
that's what I'm saying
I have to let you die
and live again I died
in the fire drowned in the flood
the experience did not kill me
still living and breathing
through fear and trembling
so figure out how to
make ends meet
I will not jump in the middle
nor will I stand in the gap
I've had enough of that
going and coming back
