I broke myself trying to hold you together                                                         ­                        withstood  the  waves of your stormy weather                                                          ­                         apologized  when  you  were the aggressor                                                        ­                                       always  the  victim  of  your constant displeasure                                             Had your foot on my back, and you kept me down                                                             ­                                               always  tethered to you, forever bound                                                            ­ But  if  the  truth  be told, it's you who needed me                                                               ­                                             I  am  the  strong  one  and  you  who  are weak                                                             ­                                                                If I would walk away from you this very day                                                 your ego would crumble and you'd slip away                                                 all of that aggression would fall into submission                                     wouldn't that be an interesting juxtaposition
