Lyrics

You know I'd do anything if you asked me
'Cause even when you left me out to dry
I said that we'd figure it out
When I reach for you, you pull away
You're the only poison in my paradise
Stand on my phone, tell your name, turn to a missed call
Contemplate if I have the strength it takes to please you
Collapsing my spine, but say that I'm fine
That's what it takes to make you happy
I don't need your love
If I have your respect
But lately I ain't getting either one from you
I'm suffocating yeah, your hands on my neck
If love's not a game, why do I lose in the end
Yeah, I got a missed call, missed texts
Know it's one of your requests
Asking me to do something I know that I don't wanna do
Asking me to put my life on hold just to service you
Yeah, you live with your parents, you got a part-time job
How are you almost 25, but think you can't do it wrong?
Your parents threatened the cops on me, but yet, you keep calling me
I think that you're stalking me, you left, but you keep showing up
I don't know what to do to separate me and you, yeah respect is free
But yet you wouldn't give it to me
I don't need your love
If I have your respect
But lately I ain't getting either one from you
I'm suffocating yeah, your hands on my neck
If love's not a game, why do I lose in the end
All I really wanted
Is to feel love and respect from you
Is that too much
After four years of nothing but helping you
Played your boyfriend, best friend, therapist, and landlord
And all I got in return was that you asked more
All I ever asked, A little bit of sleep
A little less you and a little more me
I don't need your love
If I have your respect
But lately I ain't getting either one from you
I'm suffocating yeah, your hands on my neck
If love's not a game, why do I lose in the end
All I want is love and respect
All I ever wanted was you treat me like a friend
Even when you neglected me, I stayed through the pain
I was always there for you, you proved you can't do the same
