You were holding on so tight
Everyone can see
Your blood pressure rising
And your refusal to stop and breathe
Little tiny helper
A giver of everything
But if you don't leave any room for yourself
You will never be free
I'm wasting my breath
Trying to get you to see
You can't
You can't fix anyone else, babe
Being a friend means
Knowing when it's time
Time to leave
You were like the Capital Beltway
You are a traffic jam
Minuscule movements forward
Into a false promised land
Overworked, overwhelmed
Overtired, overdone
You finally give up to find
That the hardest thing you ever had to do
Was to let yourself feel alive
I'm wasting my breath
Trying to get you to see
You can't fix anyone else, babe
Being your friend means
I gotta know when it's time to leave
Time to leave
