Only When It's Too Late...

I’m drowning in the river, floating downstream
Hoping someone will hear my petrified scream
Finally gave up enough to ask for help
But nobody hears me over themselves
I finally broke down and started to cry
But no one was around to listen to my surprise
Making pitiful excuses, lying to my face
Hypocritical deceit, fallen from grace
So I continue to drown as I lose all faith
Trying to survive when death is close enough to taste
Just looking for the reason to continue swimming
While everyone passes me by like I am nothing

 

Just one is all it will take
But nobody cares until it’s too late

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Nobody ever really thinks about all they take for granted until it's too late.

I notice and care but no one can do anything if you don't let them.
