Boundaries hurt
But I won't let myself be weak
You only know how to take
So I won't even give you the chance
You only call me when you miss me
I'm just an afterthought for you
Why don't you stop trying altogether
It's much easier to handle a total lack of effort
Please stop caring in brief spurts
It hurts more when I think you care
Being a mere convenience cuts deep
So leave me alone
Let me pull away from you
Especially now that I know you're selfish
If it isn't about you or her you don't care
I don't want someone like that in my life
You've pushed everyone away
All the pointing your finger at someone else
People aren't perfect
They're broken and lash out
But your old friend is working on himself
You don't have to trust him again
I wouldn't ask that of you
But you act like he murdered a loved one
You're just too immature to see
Forgiveness isn't weak
I know because I've forgiven you
I genuinely forgive you for hurting me
But I've set boundaries now
Protecting my heart is my top priority now
I won't let you continue to steamroll me
So take a long look in the mirror
Cause what you did to me was worse
And forgiveness was never even a question
So patch yourself back together
Pull your head out of your ass
And stop complaining
Welcome to your twenties
This is your warm welcome
Now would you please, dear Lord, actually act like it
