Yesterday I Tried to Tell Her
A sweet, quiet child she seems from a distance,
 but let her pull you in and you'll see her persistence
 is smothering his stability with her ability to baffle.
  
 I am a friend for one reason and one reason only,
 because she's fatigued and distressed from feeling this lonely
 and wanting consultation for hope of a salvation from him.
  
 So she continued to seek guidance and support,
 and these stories began to warp and distort
 the help I was willing to provide while I tried to find the truth.
  
 So it comes down to this burden that is resting on my shoulders,
 I was summoned to help, but fear I have made the situation colder
 for now I understand why he has banned her affection.
  
 I was supposed to ascertain the problem and inform her of his defense
 but soon found out that I have committed the offense,
 because I am the obstacle that she has hated from the start,
 I am the reason her Cupid's arrow missed his heart,
 I am to blame for her shot and miss
 when I am still her confidant and her accomplice.
 
 I am so sorry I was ever brought into this,
 all I ever wanted to do was bring her out of the abyss
 and save her from the heartache she was sure to find,
 I never thought I'd become so blind.
 I never thought I could like someone like him,
 I never thought the situation would get so grim,
 I never thought it would hurt and ache,
 I didn't think my heart would break.
