Fruitless Approval

Eviction notice on the door

No, you can't live here anymore

I'll miss you, I'm sure

You held the key, I let you be

the landlord to my self esteem

pure robbery

Validation guaranteed

Can count on you to placate me

Fruitless approval indeed

Fuel my ego with your gaze

I'm addicted to the praise

Don't wanna cease to amaze

I'm cutting off the power

Please go take your last warm shower

Don't wait till the last hour

You held the key, lived rent free

I think it's time for you to leave

My mind at peace

Validation guaranteed

Can count on you to placate me

Fruitless approval indeed

Fuel my ego with your gaze

I'm addicted to the praise

Don't wanna cease to amaze

Why'm so obsessed

With trying to impress

A man who won't pay rent

I think I'm over it

Why'm so obsessed

With trying to impress

A man who won't pay rent

Please go pack up your shit

I let you run a muck

The evidence is stacking up

You no longer fill my cup

You'll try to make a case

And I'll try not to take the bait

Need you off of my feckin plate
