Guilty Either Way

I’m tired of all the jagged edges
That cut me every time you fall
And the pieces of your life come down around you
And I’m tired of the worried voices
Crying when they call
Just 'cause I’ll know where to look
When no one’s found you
You’re just sailing right along
That’s what you’re thinking
I’ve been bailing you out so long
You don’t even know you’re sinking
I’m guilty. Guilty either way
Wrong to try to fix you, and wrong to turn away
I’m guilty, guilty either way
I don’t want to be the one to get that call
Some early morning
When they find you dead of more than you can take
I don’t want to be the one
To dry your children’s tears of mourning
And try to find some lie to cover your mistake
If I’m always here to catch you
Then you’re only going to fall again
But if you fall right through the bottom
Then I’m always going to feel the blame
