I Shouldn'T Have To Give You This Spiel

Sometimes, you make me feel like I’m not good enough. And that’s tough. Especially when I give you all my love And all you give me is a shove. You push me away When I have something to say Because it isn’t what you want to hear. Then, I start to tear. You want me to do things I’ve never done before But that would make me feel like a whore. You can’t force me to do it So please just quit. I say I love you But you don’t say it too. You say no instead As if it’s all in my head. My love for you is real I shouldn’t have to give you this spiel. Do you really not believe me? Can you really not see? My feelings for you are strong, I thought you knew that all along. I thought I was making myself clear When I would always smile from ear to ear Because you brought me joy. You were my little drummer boy But now I see The girl you want isn’t me. You need someone who isn’t afraid to talk, Someone as solid as a rock. Someone who isn’t new to this game, Someone who is tame. Someone to give all the blame, Someone who will take your last name. The girl you need might be out there And I hope you find her somewhere, But, to make things fair And square, I’m going to find someone new too And I promise, he’ll be nothing like you.
