Ive Got To Learn To Say No

Message after message Always troubled with concerns I lend an ear - a voice You’d think by now I would have learned Hours and hours of drama Filled with emotional selfish needs Is this how you treat your best friend? Dumping everything on me I use reason and logic To keep her calm and reassured I can’t tell if she is listening Her response is loquaciously immature I like to think that I am helping But it’s hurting me so Taking advantage of our friendship I’ve got to learn to say no Another message another evening Its seems her friends have let her down She just needed someone to talk to She always knows I’ll be around She started talking about them badly She probably talks the same about me Sometimes it makes me wonder If helping her is killing me So I’ll send another message It helps her sleep throughout the night But as I lay here in the darkness I hope and pray I’ll be alright It’s going to take some time Change begins with me - this I know Taking advantage of our friendship I’ve got to learn to say no
