Let you down

Wed, 09/20/2017 - 09:29 -- YNLK

Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointmentDoing everything I can, I don't wanna make you disappointedIt's annoyingI just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did wasn't ever tryna make an issue for youBut I guess the more youThought about everything, you were never even wrong in the first place, right?Yeah, I'ma just ignore youWalking towards you, with my head down lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for youParanoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for youVery loyal?Shoulda had my back, but you put a knife into my hands beforeWhat else should I carry for you?I cared for you, butYeah, you don't wanna make this workYou just wanna make this worseWant me to listen to youBut you don't ever hear my wordsYou don't wanna know my hurt yetLet me guess you want an apology, probablyHow can we keep going at a rate like this?We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leavePlease don't come after meI just wanna be alone right now, I don't really wanna think at allGo ahead, just drink it offBoth know you're gonna call to mom like nothing's wrongAin't that what you always do?I feel like everytime I talk to you you're in an awful moodWhat else can I offer you?There's nothing left right now, I give it all to youYeah, don't talk down to meThat's not gonna work nowPacked all my clothes and I moved outI don't even wanna go to your houseEverytime I sit on that couchI feel like you lecture meEventually I bet that weCould have made this workAnd probably woulda figured things outBut I guess that I'm a letdownBut it's cool, I checked outOh, you wanna be friends now?Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend nowSit around and talk about the good timesThat didn't even happenI mean, why you laughing?Must have missed that jokeLet me see if I can find a reactionNo, but at least you're happy
