Lyrics
So much for your talents and so-called hard work
Disappointment in the perceived lack of talent and hard work.
Don't recognize my friend
Failure to recognize the friend's current state.
Don't know this stranger
Feeling like the friend has become a stranger.
I thought you were a big man, so learn how to stand tall
Calling out the friend to stand tall despite challenges.
I thought you had it all under control
Expectation of the friend having control over their life.
Boy was I wrong
Realization of being wrong about the friend.
Look at your clothes so tattered and torn
Observation of the friend's worn-out clothes.
Look at the wounds on your arms
Noticing wounds on the friend's arms.
How dare you ask for my sympathy
Refusal to sympathize due to perceived unworthiness.
Self-administered disease and you still cry for self-pity
Highlighting self-inflicted problems and seeking pity.
Concerned for your wellbeing I shouldn't even care
Expressing a lack of concern for the friend's well-being.
So this is my farewell
Announcing farewell and the end of the relationship.
So much for goodbyes
Acknowledging the failure of goodbyes.
Cheers to the times we had
Toasting to past positive experiences.
Wish they didn't have to die
Regret over the loss of those positive experiences.
But I don't know you and I finally chose my side
Choosing to distance oneself and pick a side.
Play victim to someone else
Advising the friend to play the victim elsewhere.
That's all you're good for
Reducing the friend to being only good at playing the victim.
With your martyr self
Labeling the friend as a martyr, sarcastically emphasizing self-sacrifice.
Alone with your coward shame
Describing the friend as alone and filled with coward shame.
Be ashamed
Directing the friend to feel shame for their actions.
A product of love, a child of a good home
Pointing out the friend's background and upbringing.
How dare you disrespect the ones you supposedly love
Condemning the friend for disrespecting loved ones.
Given nothing but compassion
Noting the friend's receipt of compassion despite actions.
How ashamed you must be
Expressing disbelief at the friend's lack of remorse.
Forgive me if that's how it seems
Apologizing if concern appears insincere, hinting at the friend's behavior.
But looks like your rot has sunk down to the seams
Indicating that the friend's negative qualities are evident.
I'm ashamed to know you
Feeling shame about being associated with the friend.
A momentary relapse, you're crying for help
Recognizing the friend's plea for help as a temporary relapse.
A timeless classic, it's always the same spiel
Labeling the friend's behavior as a repetitive and unoriginal pattern.
Be mindful of your actions, I'm not there to take the fall
Advising the friend to be cautious of consequences without support.
Seems like your out of time
Suggesting that time is running out for the friend.
That's all you're good for
Reiterating the friend's limited value as a victim.
With your martyr self
Mocking the friend's self-martyrdom.
