Say you want the truth all you want
But really, You only tolerate me when I
Erase myself for your sake.
So really, what is it that you want
From me? You should use all
That anger, that desire for control,
And direct it at yourself: try to
Understand your heart and what it is
You dislike about me— Stay
In your lane. You live your life,
Now let me live mine—
That’s all. Goodbye
