Wake Up Call

You've lost everything

Just read between the lines

That you have written

I never thought that you

Would ever bite at the only hands that fed you

If there's one thing that you have learned from me

It's that you'll never survive begging on your knees

I will never give you

My helping hand again

You broke everything that I thought was real

I was so afraid to let you sink

But the only thing you ever did

Was pull me under

That was the final straw

The straw that broke us all

So lay in the very bed you've made for yourself

Heed my words

And listen close

If you don't change your life

You'll be a ghost

Fear of rejection and shoving aside

All that is real

Now it's time to show you how it feels

Ungrateful

So ungrateful

Make good of what you have

The price it pays is always true

Always true

It's not too late to follow through

If and when you should succeed

I'll take your hand and let the past recede
