Showing Up

I've walked through a thousand fires So don't act like it's not a miracle I'm even alive Cause I've always been the tough one To take care when you're tired Suck it up and hold your trembling hand While you're out there being admired Yet I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you You say you're growing up, but I know it isn't true I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you Don't tell me that you're stuck- I'd go all the way for you I've loved you for a thousand lives So don't act like I was ever untrue or unkind You revealed yourself as a friend to me With your pure delinquent smile And every time you bared your teeth and broke my trust I forgave with "he's just a child" But you reveal yourself strategically To bounce ahead with no denial Rubber burn, spin out quick turn If I expect one ounce of fair trial Yet I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you You say you're growing up, But I know it isn't true I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you Don't tell me that you're stuck- I'd go all the way for you Thinking I don't deserve the patience I had with you But you made it clear that you just don't have the energy do you Thinking I don't deserve the patience I had with you But you made it clear that you just don't have the integrity Sometimes I wish I had more of a taste for vengeance Sometimes I wish I'd been born more of a capitalist There's no getting even in my mind I never thought you'd be who I'd end up enemies with (Sometimes I feel like... if I don't say everything What's the point of saying anything at all?) I'll always be your confidant Best friend, I won't forget our stuff And if we ever twist back to touch again I'll be bright as I was Cause I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you You say you're growing up, But I know it isn't true I'm still showing up, I'm still showing up for you Don't tell me that you're stuck- I'd go all the way for you
