lyrics

you say you're tired of me 
you say, go on and leave
you don’t wanna see my face in the mirror no

you're funny tho you see
think i'm the enemy 
you ever talk like that to me my hands be round your throat

I don’t think, babe, that you quite realize
I want to beat you within an inch of your life
don’t be a drama queen
don’t wanna hear it no more…. No more

if you want me to stay boy - HERE I AM
if you need me to stay  boy - HERE I AM
why you push me away boy? HERE I AM

so say that one more time
you raise your voice at me
you won’t be smiling when you find yourself in misery

you said it one more time
oh, now you’ve crossed the line
told you before that I will not be your casualty

you want to scream you want to rage
you don’t see you’re driving me insane…..

if you want me to stay boy - HERE I AM
if you need me to stay  boy - HERE I AM
why you push me away boy? HERE I AM

we don’t see eye to eye
you know you’ve lost your mind
why don’t you let me go?

you want it want it - you need it need it
but i will move on, better believe it
you want it want it - you need it need it
but i will move on, better believe it
you want it want it - you need it need it
but i will move on, better believe it

if you want me to stay boy - HERE I AM
if you need me to stay  boy - HERE I AM
why you push me away boy? HERE I AM

if you want me to stay boy - HERE I AM
you say you need me to stay  boy - HERE I AM
why you push me away boy? HERE I AM

we don’t see eye to eye
you know you’ve lost your mind
why don’t you let me go?
