Get Your Own Damned Emotions
You always manage to justify,
Making me feel this way,
You don't care about how nor why,
And you've always got to have the last say;
You know nothing about women at all,
You know even less about me,
While it's okay to stand proud it's not good to stand to tall,
And, because you say you love me "how I feel" is what your main concern should be;
You're the man here,
The stronger of us two,
You should want to console me if it would stop but one falling tear,
The only time you say what you feel is when we argue;
Then you only grab my emotions out of the air,
And you use my own pain against me to win a fight,
"Get your own damned emotions" fighting mine with mine is'nt really fair,
But, I guess whatevers whatever when you have to be right;
I always pour my heart out,
Only to be the one left crying,
Why must you fill my head full of doubt,
Sometimes it feels as if I'm the only one trying;
I know what you're thinking right now,
You're thinking ("I don't care"),("do what you gotta do"),("go ahead and leave"),
The fact that you can let me go so easily proves you don't care anyhow,
Your negative words don't hurt as bad as they used to on that you can trust and believe;
I'm gonna put this to an end,
With all that being said,
Just want to say "it's getting harder to pretend",
That we don't need to pull this thing back together we're barely hanging on by a thread;....
