lyrics

Verse 1:
You can’t just ask me to be a friend
And lower my standards
Why don’t we pretend
You can’t expect me to let it go
You’re better than that
So I thought you should know

I don’t understand
What you see
It’s not just me
I take a stand

Chorus:
I won’t sit back
And say nothin’
You can’t put this back on me
No no no no
What’d you think I would do

Verse 2:
You can’t just ask me not to come around
‘Cause I’ve got some label
It’s bringin’ us down
You can’t expect me to believe “the Truth”
‘Cause that’s what you call it
That’s a label too

I don’t understand
You trust in me
But then shun me
So I take a stand

Chorus

Bridge:
I don’t care what you call it, ooh
But I’m tired of all the lies
I can’t stand to keep feelin’ so ashmed

I don’t want to be judge now, ooh
But I’ve been traumatized
I don’t want you to feel forever shamed
‘Cause I know how it feels

Verse 3:
You can’t just ask me to stay away
There’s too much at stake
Yeah, my mind is made
You can’t just ask me to let it go
You’re more than a friend
I have to let you know

I don’t understand
What you see
It’s not just me
But I take a stand

Last chorus:
I won’t sit back
And do nothin’
You can’t put this back on me
No no no no
What’d you think I would do
