I don't really care

You've done so much to upset me

It doesn't bother me anymore

I may get mad
But it's all a front

It's the genuine promises you break
That put me in a stump

It's not just a metaphor baby
You may find it true

Look at me
I'm stumped on you

I'm sitting by the stump of a tree
Waiting to climb
But the encouragement you give
Makes it hard to find

The branch that I need
Isn't strong enough

I try to trust
But look what happens

I end up on the ground
Right where I started

It's these promises you make
That are the promises you break
I guess I'll just stop climbing.
