Don'T

Don’t tell me your problems
I could care less
I don’t want to be involved
In your little mess

It’s hard to be the peacekeeper
When you act like such a kid
I don’t want to know about it
I don’t care what you did

So next time you feel the urge
To let someone know
Go somewhere else
For my sympathy will not show

I don’t mean to be rude
But you get on my nerves
What goes around comes around
People get what they deserve

You think your problems bad
But, problems you don’t know
Until you’ve walked in my shoes
Then you’d have a right to feel low

Why can’t you understand
Why won’t you leave me alone
I don’t want to be in your business
Why can’t you mind your own?
