Tough Love

He said that I'm too fragile
I should look after myself
I said I'd rather that you broke me
Than you left me on the shelf
I won't add a sheet of plastic
When my screen's already cracked
And my warranty expired
So I am only good for scrap

Maybe you'll make me feel special
When you let me teach you how
But I won't force you to make time
If you're still too busy now

But I've come to believe I'm not special enough to be hated
It's narcissism to crave all the attention that needs
This self loathing has me so distracted and jaded
I can't see anything that everybody else sees

He said he didn't like my songs
Because they're all too fuckin bleak
I shook him by the hand and said
It's nice to finally meet
He said that that shit isn't funny
I said if I can't laugh I'll weep
He said pick whichever suits you
But I won't be here to see

I'll let you show me you care
And if you don't I'll let you go
Because I learned the long and hard way
Take mixed signals as a no
