I hope you’re enjoying the view
Coming back to the scene of the crime
Why do you keep checking in?
Are you that happy to watch
As my world burns down around me?
The spark you threw on the tinderbox
Has turned into an inferno
That’s taken me months to set lines around
And get some kind of containment
Just when I think I have it all
Under some semblance of control
You pop your head in as if to check
And make sure the fires are still burning
Never doing a damn thing
To help me as I would’ve helped you
Just let the sucker burn, I guess
Lessons that I should’ve learned
But I’m a little busy now
Trying to recover all the things I almost lost
Too wrapped up in the damage that you did
When you chose to throw away
The best thing that had happened to me
In what was pretty close to
The worst year of my life so far
So no, I’m not doing fine
My life has almost turned to ashes
I let your fire burn too long
Almost past recovery
But now I’ve gotten past it all
At least enough to function
And I’ve said it all before
But I’ll say it once again
Either help me make sense of it all
Or stay away and let me clean this up
By myself as I’ve always had to do before
