Seems like the little things
are slowly bringing you down
Pushing past your limits,
I can see you reaching meltdown
How'd you flip into a habit
of aching for anybody's praise?
Why'd you want to take it on
and hear what a stranger has to say?

   Put them back in the backseat
   Your dues have long been paid
   Too many times, too many times, too many times

Seems to me you pushed through
and forgot the fact to feed your soul
That you can't hear the words
you said to me so many times before
That you pulled me out of black holes,
help me level & carry-on on my own
Hadn't thought it [bad word] of you,
do as I say not as I have done

   Put them back in the backseat
   Your dues have long been paid
   Too many times, too many times, too many times

Did you take it on the chin?
Did you bite your tongue hard?
Did you hold back when you were meant to dive in?
Did you think it a waste of time?
Lie and say it's all just fine
Did you keep it to yourself & turn a blind eye to help?

Tell me when you lost your heart
Gave up said it's too hard
Lost your place & get replaced
Were you shunted back in line?
When'd you lose your [bad word] in us?
In the people that do love
You just the way you are
Now rise up boy you fell too far
