Some may say I lifted you up to high above my head

and that when you came down the drop shocked you

but I believed you needed the fall, even if it did fill you with dread

sometimes you must feel a change to be able to see a different point of view

after the fall I tried to leave so that you could feel the pain

cause people told me it'd help you reavaluate

but I think you work differently, you don't like being released from a cage

even though some see it in different light, more as a chance to escape

you like consistency of a best friend

so when someone lets go you're afraid

your only view of the future is what's about to end

you can't keep your fears controlled you can't keep it tame

so I waited on the side lines while you finished your game

and then as you walked back to me I asked you to come with no shame
