when i listen to this song i think of my sister. she is a struggling drug addict and i just feel her everytime i hear this.
in the first verse i think of when i learned my sister lost custody of her son. she cried. everyone cried. i try to be the strong one in the family usually and be the one to give advice but at that moment all i could do was stand and listen. i had spent the past year and a half trying to help her go clean and keep my nephew but at that moment i realized that i had failed. i tried to be vicarious and strong for her but it wasnt enough. i dedicated so much to her and lost faith in myself for not saving her soul in time.
second verse. i didnt feel like i was the real me. i had lived my life believing that everything works out for the best but the news shattered that beleif. my sister couldnt fix her self and now it is to late. she has lost her son and will be in prison for over a year. for years i have told people to stay strong and positive and eventually everything will be fine. people believed me ( i was imitated often). mine and my families lives(songs) have depended on my sister for so long. she affects all of us.
the last verse i realize that as bad as i am feeling right now and everything ive been through is nothing compared to her. i realize that i blame her too much for what has happened becuase for some reason i think it would just be easy for me if i were in her shoes. i turn to greed becuase i hate her for taking so much of my time,effort,patience,and so much more and done nothing with it when i feel like i could have accomplished so much more in that time if she were just a stronger person and could take care of herself. (selfish)
chorus. im tired of feeling this burden to save the people i love. nothing ever improves. nobody ever gets better. but if i cant go on supporting them even when i know their end is inevitable then whats the point to living. i might as well lay my own soul down. whos gonna take some of this pressure off of me and save my soul now.
@ceedog76 hey you might not see this because it's been 14 years. How are you doing? Is your sister ok? I've been listening to this song every morning for weeks and I feel the same way, each verse is a part of my story now, but for me it's different, the first verse I think about a girl I used to care about, but didn't treat very well, and now I miss her and she tells me she doesn't have time for me.
