Overreacting

Overreacting, that’s what you said

Really? Is that what you said?

Do you think that’s what I did?

I’m pretty sure you’re the one freaking out

But you won’t hear me whine and shout

As much as I want to cry out

I won’t overreact

Like you seem to think I do

I’m trying my best

To handle what I’m going through

You can disagree with my choices

And drown out my opinion

But you can’t control me

And this isn’t overreacting

What happened to best friends forever?

Looks more like “Best friends? Never!”

Because you seem to think you’re so clever

But I don’t appreciate this attitude

What happened to you?

You aren’t the person I thought I knew

But I won’t overreact

Like you seem to think I do

I’m trying my best

To handle what I’m going through

You can disagree with my choices

And drown out my opinion

But you can’t control me

And this isn’t overreacting

I found this knife in my back, yours I presume?

You can stick it back where it belongs

Personally, I think it suits you

You say something won’t happen and you end up wrong

Turns out I was right all along

But this time I’ll be crying my eyes out when it’s all said and done

But I won’t overreact

Like you seem to think I do

I’m trying my best

To handle what I’m going through

You can disagree with my choices

And drown out my opinion

But you can’t control me

And this isn’t overreacting

I’m losing my best friend

Thought you’d always be there in the end

Don’t want to go through this again

You hurt me while I stand by

You’re killing me but you’ll never see me cry

I’ll always be loyal even when I don’t know why

But I won’t overreact

Like you seem to think I do

I’m trying my best

To handle what I’m going through

I don’t know how

But I’ll do it with or without you

But you can’t control me

And this isn’t overreacting
