Don't Want Kids

You are your own favorite topic
It's been seven years since you left for the tropics
Thanks for the postcards, ask if you're happy
You say that you are now you're free of your family
I'm walking on eggshells while you're dropping bombs
You bring up the past cause you're right and I'm wrong
How am I still nineteen but you've moved on
Is it how you justify being gone?

You're the reason why I don't want kids
No, I can't risk making someone else feel like this
Now I don't trust my own body
Cause if I turn into you, who's gonna stop me?

Most days we're estranged but it's normal behavior
So wise for my age, the child playing savior
It's not that simple, deep down you're proud
But all of the pain, oh it cancels it out
If I stole your youth then you stole mine too
So don't play the victim in a three-piece suit
I'll admit I was a little shit when I was seventeen
What's your excuse, you're the same as you've been

You're the reason why I don't want kids
No, I can't risk making someone else feel like this
Now I don't trust my own body
Cause if I turn into you, who's gonna stop me?

I defend you out of habit
They don't know you like I do
But why am I the only one who knows you?

You're the reason I seem distant when I'm mad
I told my man if we ever break up, he should keep the cats
It's not because I'm leaving, I just don't trust myself
Not to act like you and disappear when I'm feeling overwhelmed
You're the reason why I don't want kids
No, I can't risk making someone else feel like this
Now I don't trust my own body
Cause if I turn into you, who's gonna stop me?
