Bruce Abare
Well, that's not exactly true. Bruce died six months before. Jenn went downhill fast. I saw it. But after Bruce's death, I felt weak. For me, this was new. I always thought I was the strong one. He was quiet and reserved. But I always knew he had my back. This made me powerful When he died, I became puny. I will always believe, if Bruce were alive, Jenn would be alive.

Interpretation
This song is about two people in love. He's an addict. They're both realists. They've been down this road before. They know what they're up against. No sugarcoating. Few words. They're both tired.
It is what it is.
Verse One
Veins swell
You know me, Ellen, enough to tell
Five steps you're over.He's a needle addict, looking for a good vein to shoot into. His girlfriend, Ellen, wants him to quit. She knows him well enough to get what's happening. He tries to comfort her. The drugs have him. There are only five steps in Dr. Kubler-Ross stages of grief. Her sadness will soon be over.
Verse Two
Quick cut
Make your move, deliberate
Five steps you're over.She challenges him. Addicts cut themselves. His girlfriend hurts. She knows his suicide wishes.
"Don't keep scratching your skin with knives and needles. Make the cut quick; make it deliberate. We're only five steps away from peace for both of us."
Chorus
No reprimand
Deliberate, demand
With your two feet at hand.No blame from her. She won't beg. It's a demand. He has two feet. He can leave the drugs behind.
Verse Three
Get back
This train's a comin' down the track
Five steps you're over.He's shot his drugs into his arm. The high has left the station. She needs to protect herself. Five Stages of Grief and she's over him.
