I sit here
Confused
Don’t know if I should cry or not
I feel abused
You abuse my friendship
I’ve sat here all dolled up waiting for you
But I didn’t have to do that
So it’s my fault too
I let you walk all over me
I let you get away with it like it’s okay
I tell myself I’ll tell you off
Almost every single day
You’re just putting on a show for me
Must feel good to have me wrapped around your finger
I try to act like I am fine
But truthfully the pain, it always lingers
One day I won’t feel like waiting for you, you know
And I won’t have to pretend to be okay
Yeah sometime I won’t want your attention
But that time is not today
Wonder what the excuse is this time
Or if there’s just going to be no mentioning of it at all
I don’t know what you’re waiting for
Take a bow already, I’ll applaud
Congratulations if you got me where you want me
Glad I could be of some satisfaction
And I know what’s up when I see you again
Lights, camera, action.
