Breaking Points

Lyrics

Ever give somebody everything they asked you for Then watch em crash on you when you had to tell them no Maybe I gave you my last the last time Maybe I had something else planned with mine Could be a million other reasons why I need it But the bottom line of it is got damn, it's mine A lesson I would teach to my younger self There's great reward in being generous with your help But a yes to others, shouldn't mean a no to self So there are boundaries that need to be set and kept See storms strengthen up your roots when the rain hits But always pouring it into others is draining If what you putting out, they don't put the same in It becomes a habit that's addictive and it's dangerous Not to mention the resentment it creates Inside of your mental it keeps building 'til one day it's Driving you crazy. And you can feel yourself breaking The smile on your face is just disguising the anger On the outside you're cool but inside of you is flaming And you tired of the pain, so you get high and you drank And then the buzz slows down, but your mind gets to racing And you wanna understand, you keep trying to be patient And you give them some advice. But nah, they don't take it Then the mother fuckers have the nerve to lie right in ya face Because they don't understand them insulting your intelligence On top of the hell you've been through that came from helping them It's just some disrespectful shit But you'll never tell them this You just let them dig the hole that one day they'll be buried in Cause you tired of carrying You tired of caring and You conceal your heart now 'cause you tired of sharing it Now you the bad guy See all the good you ever did, it don't matter now You were supposed to come through for all the hard times So they can fall back on you and not prioritize Everything that's important, the tools for essentials Everybody party up, then call you when the rent due And now you think they're crazy, these fools must be mental But you've been an enabler, so you led them into Feeling so entitled and believing that's how life works In ya mind you know it's time to break that cycle, yeah it might hurt But pain is temporary, and for peace your mind is a treasury And kid you gotta guard that, do whatever calms that Keep that in safe space, fuck bout where ya heart at Better chance replacing that than where you keep your smarts at The best jewelry to you from me, baby girl Always keep yourself sane, it's a crazy world The Serenity Prayer is a breath of fresh air When peace escapes your mind, that's gon bring it back there Your own thoughts and reactions are all you control Amor Fati, my love Take care of your soul
