about
I had a friend once, they used me for their own personal gain. I no longer have that friend. I wrote this song about that and how standing up for yourself doesn't always get you the perfect result.
lyrics
Remember when they told you, you could do anything you wanted to?
When you told them they just stared back at you, said manage expectations keep them low.
Do you remember your best friend? The one who always said they would help you when the stage lights lose their shimmer but when you called them it's one short ring leave a message at the tone.
How long was it this time you held on
to the persona that you thought
they would want to have around.
(SOLO!!!)
Remember how they gave up the second you decided
that you had enough. It's funny that they only call you difficult
in the moment that you stand up for yourself
How long was it this time you bit your tongue
tearing at the fibres, choking on your blood
pretending that it's... (fine)
Yeah how long was it this time until they moved on
because they thought that you'd be someone
they could push around.
Remember when they told you, you could do anything you wanted to?
When you told them they just stared back at you, said manage expectations keep them low.
How long was it this time that you dwelled on
all the ways they did you wrong
instead of living for yourself.
