Being Taken Advantage of No Longer

Here is some friendly advice
You don't have to pay the price
Every time there is someone
Who makes things come all undone
You are there to pick up pieces
this endless cycle never ceases
Putting you in the middle
Of some bad and awful trouble
That taking its toll on you
Its not your obligation to
Fix everyones life but yours
Thats torn apart a little more
Each and every time you see
Someone else in misery
Its on your nature to be kind
But somewhere along the line
People took advantage of 
Your sweetness and caring love
Never seeing this occuring
As others were always luring
Your good nature to their greed
You have to stop and see you need
To become a little tougher
Finding some way you can buffer
This flowing of love emotion
Into a more controlled notion
Making your days a lot brighter
And your heart a little lighter
