Get Out My Life

When I was at the Hilton 
And I didn’t feel strong 
You jumped a bandwagon
Yeah you were real wrong
And it’s taken many years to carry on
So I’m gonna tell it and put you where you belong

I would arrive at the loft very warn out 
When i talk I’m looking at your scoffs and frowns
Reaching out for hands and feet kick me down
to the point I don’t talk and mute the mouth

stuff crushing my chest 
 Clearly needs addressing 
friends, you were my best
 missed the fact I’m stressing 

my 3 oldest mates piling on the pressure 
mockery, aggressive and I ain’t got no let up
But Durbin and Lauren could see i was upset 
As you 3 joked “you get what you get”

Mocking most enjoyably 
blind you were destroying me  
Took your age old loyalty
Sacrificed for joy it brings 

but those two didn’t resort to calling me a blagger 
They didn’t push me over because I walk with a stagger  
So you can take our friendship and shove it up your sitter
And be forever jealous that I’m funnier and fitter,

So you can sit and say you did nothing 
Claim your innocence 
“I’m out my mind”
Get out my life
Get out my life. 


Stop and think how Dom feels inside because,
He’s sure I nicked his bike when I was in Cyprus,
Telling people too don’t say I talk with slyness, 
It’s becoming very obvious he never really liked us, 

And Colino’s too naive sat smoking too much weed
If Dom carries grief then his side Colino sees
When even out the country his story you believed 
And I’m bullied at work this is the last thing I need 

And Kev and Cols join in blindly 
Ignore because with no mind free 
inadvertently treat unkindly 
my mental health declining

no one stopped to think what I was going through
What I told about the Hilton was never seen as true 
attention seek through stories is all I ever do 
Now I’m having breakdowns and leaving you confused 
Cus I am starting fights when I’d normally be amused 
When in my darkest hour only Lauren came through 

So you can sit and say you did nothing 
Claim your innocence 
“I’m out my mind”
Get out my life
Get out my life

Hello Nick Trim, people that put you down are not your friends. They are better off without you. You are better than them. Enjoy your day my friend.
