Keep the Hell Up
Every time I think that it might work
They leave with their free therapy, my time and trust
But I'm still at square one
Same as the first day
Just a bit more drained
Don't think he even bothered to learn my name
Oh I swear I'm gonna charge a fee
Next time they say they're into me, but
Can't follow through on a single plan
Let alone be emotionally aware, now
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll choose my lonely pain
Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
(Oh, oo)
Hear you talk about yourself for hours
I barely got a word in,
Yet suddenly your dreams are just of me
Thinking I'm so grand
My kindness on demand
But raising you's not what I planned
Oh, I'm sick and tired of being toyed with
I've been so patient, now I'm annoyed
Trust me I'm cheering you on
But it's not my job to teach you how to walk, now
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll choose my lonely pain
Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
Honey, I know you've had it rough
But I can't be your elixir, not qualified to fix ya
I'm not good at standing up for me
But I'm so tired of getting burnt out
While you stand tall, a better you now
I used to really love being nice
But if you think that's all I'm good for
Then you won't take advantage no more
Done with egos, done with all your lies
I do not exist for your gaze
No I'm not, I'm not your band aid
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll choose my lonely pain
Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
Oooh
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
They leave with their free therapy, my time and trust
But I'm still at square one
Same as the first day
Just a bit more drained
Don't think he even bothered to learn my name
Oh I swear I'm gonna charge a fee
Next time they say they're into me, but
Can't follow through on a single plan
Let alone be emotionally aware, now
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll choose my lonely pain
Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
(Oh, oo)
Hear you talk about yourself for hours
I barely got a word in,
Yet suddenly your dreams are just of me
Thinking I'm so grand
My kindness on demand
But raising you's not what I planned
Oh, I'm sick and tired of being toyed with
I've been so patient, now I'm annoyed
Trust me I'm cheering you on
But it's not my job to teach you how to walk, now
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll choose my lonely pain
Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love

Honey, I know you've had it rough

Over trying to make you change
If it's gonna hurt either way
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
Oooh
I'll treat myself with love
Till someone can keep the hell up
