Don't come to me to end your strife
It's not my job to fix your life

You're strong enough, stand on your own
Responsibility lies in you alone

Don't think I don't care because I do
That's why I'm saying it's up to you

If you wish to vent or talk it out
I always be there, without a doubt

It's your burdens that I'm not willing to take
Because then our friendship would be at stake

And, I'd have to claim your victories if
Your problems, each, I fixed
Then, how could you be happy
If so much of life, you missed?
