How Dare You
Now this is gonna sound mean,
But how dare you tell me what to do like that
First of all you don't understand
Yes I know you have feelings
But why would you make assumptions
When I'd never lie to you
How dare you
Tell me to get over you
When I was already moving on
When I was trying to do
Exactly what you were doing
How dare you
Think you're thinking for yourself
When really you're only seeking
Seeking for everyone's approval
To build yourself up
How dare you
Tell me it's nobody else who influenced you
When all you do is ask them what to do
So you can learn their ways
How to be happy and what to do
Now seriously
I understand okay
I understand it's hard and you need help
But seriously
Some people aren't always right, not like I am either
Yes they care
But you don't realize
Nothing we ever think in these things
Is actually us
Because someone's behind us with advice or direction or understanding
You talk about how
Everyone uses you
How they manipulate your feelings
It's true
Like even when you think you won't be manipulated anymore you're actually seeking it
And you seek manipulation, you just don't look at it that way
But I get it. I know you, like the back of my hand, okay?
I've been given countless hours to do nothing but torture myself thinking but now I see the light, and
I know your childhood and I know your past.
I know how you need to move on
I know how you've struggled to think for yourself
Like you said how you got panic attacks
When I asked what you wanted to do on a date
Or how you spend 90% of your lunch time thinking about what you want for lunch
So again, just open your eyes for god's sakes
Because I'm not here to tell you what to do like everyone else
I'm here to help you think for yourself
But it's not like I don't have thoughts too
I just want you to decide for yourself for once
But you think you are
Except you don't even know you're not, so
Maybe someday, a few years down the road, you'll come back to me and realize it but
I guess you'll never know how much I really care about you
Like I'll always care about you, seriously
I'll always love you and yes I know you're vulnerable
You're really vulnerable, even to me, to falling in love with me again, or just being hurt by me again,
And I understand why you keep your distance
I understand why you keep telling me you need time and you're trying and you're being happier
But seriously, when you say I understand you better than you do
What the hell do you mean
Because it seems I really do
And you don't understand me OR you
So let me help you
Or keep me away then, but if so,
How dare you
