Half Shelf Life
I don't want to and you can't make me
Do what I don't want
I am tired of being taken advantage of
So stop before you start
Cause I am not your money maker
You are not my best friend
We'd be lying to each other if we said different
These days I realize
Life goes by so fast
If I close my eyes for too long
I'm going to miss the one I have
Cause I've been spending time on everyone
Burning out like a smoking gun
There'll be nobody else to blame but myself
I am tired, wasted and using all my friends
The truth is I need some time to myself
To figure out what's next
It is lonely inside this half shelf life
I am lonely inside this half shelf life
The truth is I don't need you
I don't want you
So I won't keep you
Believe me I appreciate all you think you do
But I've been spending time on everyone
Tripping over things I've left undone
I'll be talking all about it
Just to myself
I am tired, wasted and using all my friends
The truth is I need some time to myself
To figure out what's next
It is lonely inside this half shelf life
I am lonely inside this half shelf life
Caged little bird carry the word
Fly as fast as you can
Cause I need to know which way to go
To capture the music within
If I set you free
Will you come and find me
And show the secrets to life
So I can be magnificently
Hopeful, rejuvant and light
I don't want to and you can't make me
Do what I don't want
I am tired of being taken advantage of
So stop before you start
Cause I am not your money-maker
You are not my best friend
We'd be lying to each other if we said different
