Remember that night you called me crying? At one in the morning 'cuz things had turned violent? I picked up even though it was late And it was a school night I needed my sleep But I stayed on the phone and calmed you down Crushed all the rumors circulation around Never could you extend the same courtesy
Get everything off my chest in a text and press "send" Expecting some advice or an "it'll be okay" Instead I get back one letter Not even a sentence to comfort Let me turn around and do the same thing You'd have no hesitation in calling me selfish Cold hearted, accusing me of being jealous As if you could handle a walk in my shoes As if you know half of what I've been through
Remember when I said that I had feelings too? That I wasn't just a human form of a diary for you to use? Like I have all these thoughts and emotions bottled up inside that you haven't once considered or asked if I was fine Scenarios circle in my head Late at night I replay all the things we said Entire conversations, beginning to end Perhaps I think too much But that doesn't change The fact you never want to listen to me
If you're gonna play it like it's every man for himself I have no problem never asking you for help I have no problem hitting reject On the phone when you call I could be reading instead And by reading I mean a book, not one of your long texts 140 characters describing how bad your life is As if you don't have a roof over your head Parents who love you, a nice warm bed I'm not saying you don't have problems, everyone does I'd never put mine out there I know how you judge You'd tell me I'm insecure Or to just grow up Never once considering what I'm going through is actually tough
Does that jeweled crown from your head need to fall? To convince you I'm imperfect yet worthy? I don't care if you're the queen of your world You can't judge my path unless you've walked my journey
I'm not your personal therapist Never was Never will be Your emotions? Have them Your diary? Here's the key
