You Have
Make up your mind
The double standards
Are killing me
You say I can talk to
Whomever I please
But that's not true
In your mind I'm leaving,
I'm gone
You say you don't want
to be that person
But you are right now
I listen to you
Day after day
Extoll the virtues
Of all the others
The happiness in your voice
Directed at anyone but me
We are great as long as I
Don't step beyond
The lines in the sand
You have set
You tell me I can talk to her
But then you
Come unglued
You want us to be friends
But not that much.
I can't keep up
I have lost track
So I give up
I will just speak when told
The double standards
Are killing me
You say I can talk to
Whomever I please
But that's not true
In your mind I'm leaving,
I'm gone
You say you don't want
to be that person
But you are right now
I listen to you
Day after day
Extoll the virtues
Of all the others
The happiness in your voice
Directed at anyone but me
We are great as long as I
Don't step beyond
The lines in the sand
You have set
You tell me I can talk to her
But then you
Come unglued
You want us to be friends
But not that much.
I can't keep up
I have lost track
So I give up
I will just speak when told
