Not Yours to Lean On

I don't know anything about anything at this point. You're messing with my brain, pushing me away just to see if I'll come running back and I do, every single time like a dang fool. You're older but that doesn't mean you have the right to leave all this on me. That if the relationship you built on lies and my advice crumbles to the ground, that I'll be there, waiting to take the fall for you and 

clean up the mess you made because my friends were right, you're no princess and I'm no Cinderella.
