punch drunk

I can't live up to the expectations
You set the bar
So beyond my reach
You run so hot and cold
Yet I can't seem to
Find my warmth
I try to be what you want
I try to give you what you need
But inside of me
I'm starting to drown

You say you care
But you don't want to hear
I'm not allowed to be vulnerable
But then I'm a cold hearted bitch
Just when I'm sure we can make it last
You turn around
And walk right past
You want me to speak
But you aren't willing to listen
I don't have the patience
For your emotional resistance

I'm done being told
I'm not enough
I listen to you, I offer solutions
I ask you for a minute
I'm told you don't have the time
If I can't keep it together
You don't need me around

Like a record on repeat
You say the same things
Sometimes I wish
You would stop the chorus
Like a punch drunk fighter
That won't go down
I'm trying to stay in til
The last round
