you put on the brakes
before you'd hang with me
the give and the take
never bothered me
but the way that you'd fake responsibility
made me relate
to your simplicity
get out of the way
you're not allowed to say
that you belong to me
bursting at the seam
there's no you in team
you're all alone with me
was it the way
mother cuddled me
can you relate
with your hypocrisy
as soon as I wait
to see some empathy
you're turning away
from everything you need
sometimes I thought I was winning
but then I was not the man
you thought I needed to be
but I didn't need to be
filled with indiscretion
unable to change direction
learning it on the way
getting lost without a sound
you're gonna put me under ground
