Orange Peel

Maybe I should take my own advice
I think for my sake I've been too nice
Taken for granted by those by my side
Do these people need a spot in my life?
It leads to nothing, sit and observe
What does it stand for? What does it serve?
I've grown tired of wasted effort
It's getting old, for what its worth
What do you gain when you meddle with my time?
It's getting old repeating the same lines

I can't keep giving it all
When you take til its gone
What have you done for me lately?
You disrespect and you don't even thank me
Why should I continue to stay?
You only see things your way
I won't keep on dropping the bar
You wouldn't have even gone that far

I must admit that I walk a fine line
Giving up never crosses my mind
I keep burning til the flame goes out
Guess I should've never opened my mouth
Stop turning out and nobody shows up
Visible now that I reached out too much
You can't respect my self protection
All you want is over extension
Why can't you ever go out of your way?
That you won't even allow me to say

I can't keep giving it all
When you take til its gone
What have you done for me lately?
You disrespect and you don't even thank me
Why should I continue to stay?
You only see things your way
I won't keep on dropping the bar
You wouldn't have even gone that far

I would do it for you
Would you do it for me?
I would do it for you
I would do it readily
I would do anything
You would do nothing
I would do it for you
Wouldn't do it for me

I can't keep giving it all
When you take til its gone
What have you done for me lately?
You disrespect and you don't even thank me
Why should I continue to stay?
You only see things your way
I won't keep on dropping the bar
You wouldn't have even gone that far
