I have a funny way of turning any conversation away from me
I do it consciously
I can't take a compliment the problem's in my confidence
I don't see me objectively
I hide behind a pen I hide behind piano keys
If I stay inside my shell I'll keep my truths all to myself
Helping other people write their stories
I'm a vault for secret storage
Selling out for cheap
Friends are calling me for
Therapy
But nothing's ever free
If it's at the expense of me
I put more weight on what others say 'cause I don't trust my inner dialogue
I'd rather right their wrongs
My martyred words aren't for the wise I'd rather give than try to try
I'm selling out for cheap
Friends are calling me for
Therapy
But nothing's ever free
If it's at the expense of
Here take my helping hand
Just take it all 'til there's nothing left
If I cry a river I'll drown in tears
So I hold it in and I lend an ear
To anyone and everyone my chosen work is never done
I'm breaking boundaries
When they're calling me for
Therapy
But nothing's ever free
If it's at the expense of
My peace of mind my sanity
I'm fixing friends who are breaking me
If I shined a light inside my heart I'm scared they'll see my darkest parts
So I give advice that I don't take
Apologize when there's no mistake
Instead of begging them to see
It's taking a toll on me
