You Deserve Each Other

I called it from the very start

Saw how fast it fell apart

A stubborn, desperate partnership on life support

Beg me not to tell you twice

But disregard all my advice

Hang your head in shame as the ones

Who loved you turn away

You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy

And you’re leaving me no option

Consider the possibility that it just wasn’t meant to be

You're burnt out and your spirit's gone

Now all I see is scared obligation

And bitter reluctance

Beg me not to tell you twice

But disregard all my advice

Hiding your broken home

'Cause you'd hate to hear: I told you so

Go ahead, follow in your father’s footsteps

Settle for failure if think you deserve it

Go ahead, follow in your mother’s footsteps

Hopes and dreams, squandered

Like they’re totally worthless

You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy

And you’re leaving me no option

Consider the possibility that it just wasn’t meant to be

And now you’re wallowing in defeat

With your broken dreams around you

I won’t help pick up a single piece

When you admit I was right all along
