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
