Lyrics

I’ll do my best

I will make an effort to do my best.

To see your point of view

I'll try to understand your perspective.

But if I miss

If I fail to understand, I'm seeing through you.

It’s you that I’m looking straight through

Despite my efforts, I may not fully comprehend you.

Carry the weight

I am willing to bear the burden.

Put my shoulder to the wheel

I will work hard and contribute my share.

But if I break

If I break down emotionally, the pain is shared with you.

The pain is yours to feel too

If I experience emotional breakdown, you will feel the pain too.

If I break, who’ll pick the pieces up

If I fall apart, who will help mend the pieces?

If I break, will there still be enough

If I crumble, will there still be enough of me for you?

Of me…for you…

Questioning self-worth and if it's sufficient for the other person.

Am I good enough

Am I worthy as a complete person?

Full measure of a man

Reflection on the true measure of a man.

Should I let go

Should I release control and continue doing my best?

Keep doing the best that I can

If I fall apart, who will help mend the pieces?

If I break, who’ll pick the pieces up

If I crumble, will there still be enough of me for you?

If I break, will there still be enough

Questioning if there will be enough left after a breakdown.

Are we still fools, paying for it with our lives

Are we foolishly paying the price with our lives?

The wasted years, longest end to the deepest dive

Reflection on wasted years and deep emotional struggles.

Spiral down…It’s a long way to hit the ground And now…It takes a long time to come around But how…Will we ever make it, if we don’t break it…down

Expressing the difficulty of breaking down and rebuilding.

Fingers point

Accusations and blame are directed at various parties.

Plenty blame to go around

Plenty of blame to share among everyone.

Are we all lost

Wondering if everyone is lost or disconnected.

Apathy is the saddest sound

Apathy is portrayed as a deeply saddening state.

If I break who’ll pick the pieces up

If I fall apart, who will help mend the pieces?

If I break will there still be enough

If I crumble, will there still be enough of me for you?

When I break, who’ll pick the pieces up

When I break emotionally, who will help mend the pieces?

When I break, will there still be enough

When I experience emotional breakdown, will there be enough left?

Of me…for you…

Questioning the adequacy of the self for the other person.
