Careful.
Choose your words carefully
Caution.
Tread with caution around me
I'm a soda bottle about to explode
A grenade about to blow you to smithereens

Listen.
I'm done listening to you
Stay.
Stay away from me
You shook the soda bottle
You pulled the pin on the grenade

Don't leave.
I want you to go away
Hold me.
You held me back
I pretended that you were helping
While you made my world go dark

Know.
Do you know just how successful I'd be
If you hadn't chained me down and
Held me back
