You say I turned my back,
But I’m not the one who caved.
You crossed the line in search of approval.
I think you know we were never the same.
Make no mistake,
This comes with conditions.
You want blind support?
You fucking know that’s not me.
Question, challenge, improve
Or what’s the point?
I’ll ignore every jab for attention,
Every desperate attempt to get in my head.
Say you’re better off but you still need my approval.
You can’t beg for respect.
