You say I don't live in the real world
Well, I'm glad I don't
It would eat me alive
It's already eaten me alive
You say I reach too much for band-aids
Well, I'm glad that I do
They encourage me to shut down, reach out-
Even if it's for the advil in the morning
You sit on the edge of my bed and point out my flaws
Well, I'm glad you did
Cause it made me feel like ****
But I realized you're no ally
You only want me around to please you; then you leave me behind
Well, I'm glad I know now
That I can always count on you for something
And fool me twice, shame on me
You say I'm garbage cause I live on cheap rent
Well, it's good to know gossip runs in the family
Cause I forgot life is like high school with bigger stakes
Like the one you stick in my heart every time you talk about money
You say you can't make it to the show
Well, I sense your tone
It seems like you'd lend me your coat
When you rather me shiver to the bone
You say you know nothing
Well, I sense you know everything
Now that I spelled it out in ink
Cause it's clear the blood was lacking
