Too Tired to Leave



I’m so tired of you

I swear I don’t know what to do

I’m tired of your excuses

And your bullshit too

And I can’t figure out

Why I’m still with you

And something has to give

But if it don’t I will

And you’ve taken it

My will, you’ve taken it

Right now I don’t have it

And I still don’t know

I have no clue what to do

My lacrimal glands are tired of you

Tears are wearing tracks in my cheeks

You are definitely aging me

And the struggling is killing me

Trying to change me to accept you

More struggle, more struggle

And then more I keep going through

And I still don’t know why or what

I can’t bring myself to leave you

Because that’s how magnets work

Opposites attract

Someone positive would push me back

But it’s like magnetism

Your negativity seems to be

All so attractive to me

Along with those disappointing things

Synchronized like clockwork

The things you do to peeve me

And I still don’t know and can’t see

How you could claim to love me

And it slips off your lips so easily

And I’m easily made to believe

That you’d do for me

That you give yourself to be with me

That you say something

And you’d mean what you said to me

And I can’t understand

How I am letting me be with you

I’m still here

Of course you don’t know

That I’m tired of you
