about

Sometimes someone that's trying to fix you is really just making things a lot worse. Don't let someone walk all over you in the name of "calling you out."

lyrics

You say you are the only one
Who will call me out when you think I've sinned
But when you call, your words are empty
All you want is a fight you know you'll win

You say that's what you do for your friends
To fight, to hurt, 'cause it's good in the end
You say that's what real friends do
Well I don't want any friends like you

My roommate and I, we got in a fight
Because we never spoke, we kept to ourselves
You thought the best course was to pit us in battle
I'm glad I didn't listen, 'cause my roommate's still my friend, and we started a band

I guess that all my friends are bad
Because none of them try to make me sad
We compliment, we smile, we cry
You wanna "fix that", well I'd rather die

So long, for now, while you stay the same
You think that everyone else must be to blame
I pray for the ones that think you've figured it out
You're the toxic rain, soaking me in self doubt
