My Rules

!Lyrics! (Verse 1) If you don’t wanna talk, just say that Don’t leave me stuck tryna read where your head’s at I’m tired of guessin’, tired of chasin’ clues You actin’ distant, but won’t tell me the truth If you want nothing to do with me, say it clear Don’t keep me close while you disappear I’d rather heartbreak than silence and games At least I’d know who’s really to blame (Pre-Chorus) Don’t sit there actin’ like you don’t see me I know you got time, just not for me (Chorus) These are my rules, I’m done bein’ played Say what you feel, don’t let it just fade If you’re gettin’ bored, don’t keep me confused I’d rather the truth than feelin’ used I give you my time, I give you my care But I’m done actin’ like you’re never there If you don’t want me, then say it straight I’m done beggin’ for the bare minimum, wait (Verse 2) I’m tired of people not makin’ time The way I do for them every time I show up, I stay, I give my all But when I need you, you don’t even call I’m tired of remindin’ you what’s right Like I gotta teach you how to treat me right Respect ain’t hard, effort ain’t new Why does it feel like too much for you? (Pre-Chorus) Don’t act like I’m askin’ for too much Just honesty, just real love (Chorus) These are my rules, I’m drawin’ the line Don’t waste my energy, don’t waste my time If you’re losin’ interest, don’t play pretend Don’t keep me here just for your end I gave you my trust, I gave you space But I won’t keep runnin’ in the same place If you don’t want me, then say it straight I’m done beggin’ for the bare minimum, wait (Bridge) No more silence, no more lies No more readin’ between your lines If I matter, then show me now If I don’t, just tell me how I’m not chasin’ what don’t chase me I’m not stayin’ where I’m not seen (Final Chorus) These are my rules, no bend, no break Real ones stay, the fake ones fade Say what you mean, don’t hesitate I’m done livin’ in the “what if” state I give what I get, that’s how it goes No more waterin’ dead-end roads If you don’t want me, don’t make me stay I’m walkin’ out, my rules today
