I won't try to control you
I don't want you to control me
We've made an alliance true
I won't overstep a boundary
You need me to step in and help
I step in and help you be free
You say you owe me your life
I need help and you abandon me
You have everything, I have nothing
You believe you owe me nothing
I have everything, you have nothing
You believe I owe you something
I thought we could make each other better
But we agreed to terms that weren't true
And now, everything feels much worse
So I have no alliance to offer with you
We could be enemies with each other for time
That spans across countless years
What do we gain when we both keep losing
And there's only more outcomes of tears
We can just live near each other
Ignoring each other's existence
But I can see you turning allies against me
And I'm starting to build a resistance
What use is all this strategy
Trying to gain false sympathy
Avoiding all responsibility
It's just not a productive policy
There's no great nation you're proudly a part of
Its achievements are not yours to wear
And history shows so much misery and pain
You'd avoid the same mistakes if you'd care.
