Is this hole I'm digging for myself?
Is this what I get for trying to help?
Is it really worth my time to cave in?
Is it worth running the race I won't win?

I promise that I'll waste your time and mine
Every uttered whisper is a muted whine
I just can't live and let live
Unwillingness to forget and forgive

Can't I just let sleeping dogs lie?
Can't I just let this dead horse die?
The simple truth is no
Something won't let me just let go

The disappointment settles in my chest
Something keeps me from conveying the rest
The words tumble in my head
Once they slip off my tongue they're already dead.
