21 Going On 12

Jessey

You say the things I say
That I don't really mean
You say I'm nice to everybody
Because I only aim to please
Well, why is that so wrong?
I wanna do you right
You say I can't do right by everyone
You wanna pick a fight

So I smile when you yell at me
I try to hold it back
What more do you wanna see
I can't afford to crack

So I'll just force myself to be happy
And try to be your rock
I will put myself last
If that's what you really want
Cause I'm not ready to give you up

You say the things you feel
They cut you much too deep
You say that you'll be happy
If you let your heartbeat speak
But I've told you once or twice
Man, I've said so many times
You can't just do things for yourself
You gotta treat her right

So I grit my teeth when you talk to me
I try to hold it in
Don't ask me how to talk to her
I wish I never did

But I'll just force myself to be personable
And try to understand
Why you think that you can do
Anything that you want to
You know I'm her right hand man

So I'm telling you
She doesn't need another
Best friend
Trying to change into a lover
I've been there before
I'd never say again
What I said before
It probably made her feel so sick

So from me to you
Since you seem to get off
On your own victimization
Why don't you kindly f**k off?
