A slap to the face when you don't get your way
You tell me all about your situation Please keep to
Yourself
I don't want to hear you but you keep on telling me
I'm sick of you
Don't worry about me
You think about yourself so much
You always think it's all about you, Don't worry about me
You think about yourself, so much.
Do you like what you have?
Now I'm taking it back
I wonder if you even know what you say
You bore me with your selfish conversation
Please keep to yourself
No one wants to hear you but you keep on telling me
I'm sick of you
Don't worry about me
You think about yourself so much
You always think it's all about you, Don't worry about me
You think about yourself, so much.
Do you like what you have?
I'm gonna take it away
If you come back down
Will you listen to me?
When you come back down
