lyrics

Write an elegy for my sympathy because I am done with this
Not one more day, I've gone away because honestly I'm pissed
At things you said, things you did, I'm calling your bullshit
My self-esteem still has steam, I'm not swallowing your bit

I don't want to be your self-hate machine
That you keep trying to drown in your tears
I thought you were my friend but there's limits to my ends
And you started pushing them far too near
I tried to lift you up but you're dead-set on giving up
Quit dragging me down with your fear
And I do believe you have more up your sleeve
So I'm cutting ties and leaving you here

Burn a candle so you can handle the facts of reality
Your dreams are dead 'cause you lost your head and blamed it all on me
Your guilt trip slip flipped my lid, now I know my enemy
I don't want to fight but I hope you see the light or you'll just keep wandering

I don't want to be your self-hate machine
That you keep trying to drown in your tears
I thought you were my friend but there's limits to my ends
And you started pushing them far too near
I tried to lift you up but you're dead-set on giving up
Quit dragging me down with your fear
And I do believe you have more up your sleeve
So I'm cutting ties and leaving you here

Where did your curiosity go?
Did you lose it in an empty hole?
Where did your empathy go?
All I know is you forgot that I used to know
Where did your friendship go?
I was never built to be your punching bag
When did the smile on your face drift away
and never come back?
