I called it from the very start
Saw how fast it fell apart
A stubborn, desperate partnership on life support

Beg me not to tell you twice
But disregard all my advice
Hang your head in shame as the ones
Who loved you turn away

You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy
And you’re leaving me no option
Consider the possibility
That it just wasn’t meant to be

You're burnt out and your spirit's gone
Now all I see is scared obligation and bitter reluctance

Beg me not to tell you twice
But disregard all my advice
Hiding your broken home cause you'd hate to hear “I told you so”

Go ahead, follow in your father’s footsteps
Settle for failure if think you deserve it
Go ahead, follow in your mother’s footsteps
Hopes and dreams, squandered like they’re totally worthless

You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy and you’re leaving me no option
Consider the possibility that it just wasn’t meant to be
And now you’re wallowing in defeat with your broken dreams around you
I won’t help pick up a single piece when you admit I was right all along
