The Things You Do
You walk all over me like I’m a pile of dirt.
Have you ever just thought I might be hurt?
The way you give me that fake little smile
Makes me wonder is it even worthwhile?
I often wonder if we’re even friends
Or are you just another one of those pretends?
When you want something you come straight to me.
Is there a reason why I should agree?
I’m not your first choice and sometimes not you’re last
But does that give you the right to base me off my past?
I’m a human being just like you.
Why do you continue to treat me like I’m two?
I can fight my battles all by myself.
Could you please stop treating me like I’m a book on a shelf?
You come to me when you need a hand.
What am I, your piece of land?
I wish you could see what you’ve been doing all along.
Don’t you realize that it’s just all wrong?
If I’m not there for you in the end,
Just remember I tried to be your friend.
