I don’t have time to deal with this
I have a life to live
and with all that’s going on
there’s precious little left
to spend on someone else
Someone that doesn’t want to be here
but keeps stringing me along
claiming that they value me
(yeah, as much as a used paper bag)
I don’t need external validation
for all the negative thoughts
already in my head
I fight to shut them up
and you hand them a microphone
I don’t need the disrespect
I barely respect myself
I need people that give a damn
to help drown out the other voices
So if you can’t give me a hand
then kindly find somewhere else to be
It certainly isn’t the first time
I’ve tried to lean on someone
all too eager to lean on me
and ended up on the ground
