Dearest helpless
Intent's not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort
The fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you
I think of you first

Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world

I'm just the kind to bring you, to bring you...
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

	this reminds me of my ex best friend...i was kinda a bitch..but it was never my intent to hurt her...our little fall out was over a guy...a stupid cliche if u ask me...but we were too immature to rise above it...oh well..i moved on and she has too...it was for the better...still when all this was happening i listened to this song a lot
