YOU'RE EXHAUSTING - Beth Crowley

I’m so tired

Of always trying to

Build you up

But when I’m feeling

Low myself

You make it about

You somehow

And I was there

Each time you said you

Needed me

But you are nowhere

To be found

When I’m the one breaking down

Now you come around and

Barge into my space but

All you want to do is

Show off all your pain and

Compare it to mine like

You think we’re the same

But we’re not

You don’t care what I’ve been through

'Cause you had it harder

I gave you so much but

You act like the martyr

You tell me I’m sharp then

Imply that you’re smarter than me

I can’t keep

Investing when there’s

No return

Spend energy that

I don’t have

And I’m never getting back

'Cause you come around and

Barge into my space but

All you want to do is

Show off all your pain and

Compare it to mine like

You think we’re the same

But we’re not

You don’t care what I’ve been through

'Cause you had it harder

I gave you so much but

You act like the martyr

You tell me I’m sharp then

Imply that you’re smarter than me

It’s not some competition

There’s no prize for who’s been hurt the worst

It’s gotten so toxic

My god, you’re exhausting

'Cause you come around and

Barge into my space but

All you want to do is

Show off all your pain and

Compare it to mine like

You think we’re the same

But we’re not

We’re not

We’re not

We’re not

You don’t care what I’ve been through

'Cause you had it harder

I gave you so much but

You act like the martyr

You tell me I’m sharp then

Imply that you’re smarter than me

Well babe, you’re not smarter than me

No no
