ACT III: Quid Pro Quo
I've been doing this for too long
I've seen too many things
Tried to push away the bitterness
Tried to forgive every sting
But it's getting a little too hard
I'm getting jaded as I grow
If we're all just trying our best
Why are we so alone
I don't know what's worse
Those who only call for favors
Or those you stopped taking my calls
I know it just hurts when they only want one thing
Or think that I'm nothing at all
It's my job as a commodity
To make people understand
But I'm so sick and tired
Of being reduced to a brand
Thought I'd be okay
To make my own way
No one's gonna do it for me
But I can't pretend
That I'm not
Fucking lonely
Cause I am
So alone
They only want one thing
When they're on the phone
I do it too
It feels like shit
Quid pro quo's
Not a friendship
No it's not
But it's all that we're taught
I've seen too many things
Tried to push away the bitterness
Tried to forgive every sting
But it's getting a little too hard
I'm getting jaded as I grow
If we're all just trying our best
Why are we so alone
I don't know what's worse
Those who only call for favors
Or those you stopped taking my calls
I know it just hurts when they only want one thing
Or think that I'm nothing at all
It's my job as a commodity
To make people understand
But I'm so sick and tired
Of being reduced to a brand
Thought I'd be okay
To make my own way
No one's gonna do it for me
But I can't pretend
That I'm not
Fucking lonely
Cause I am
So alone
They only want one thing
When they're on the phone
I do it too
It feels like shit
Quid pro quo's
Not a friendship
No it's not
But it's all that we're taught
