You Are Who You Love

I used to need

Everyone to love me

And say you’re so great

And you make me laugh

And your voice is money

Well, I still do

But I’m working on it

‘Cause I paid your price

Got a little too high

And fake love and worth it

We don’t get much time here

And I don’t want to waste mine

On somebody who makes me feel small

To feed a sense of pride

You only drag me down

So I’m climbing my way out

Of this hole that you dug

‘Cause you are who you love

And I hate to cut you out

Like a bad habit but I’m out

Of excuses for your attitude

It sucks, but

You are who you love

I used to think

You really loved me

Always needing more

Always keeping score

Making me feel guilty

I know you’ll say

It’s all in my head

I’ll beat myself up

Call my own bluff

No, not again

Mama always told me

Try to see the best

In everyone you meet

But, my God

Mama doesn’t know your ass

You only drag me down

So I’m climbing my way out

Of this hole that you dug

‘Cause you are who you love

And I hate to cut you out

Like a bad habit but I’m out

Of excuses for your attitude

It sucks, but

You are who you love

And I know it hurts

It hurts me too

But you are who you love

And I don’t want to be like you

And I know it hurts

I know it sounds cruel

But you are who you love

And I don’t want to be like you

No, I don’t want to be like you

‘Cause you only drag me down

So I’m climbing my way out

Of this hole that you dug

‘Cause you are who you love

And I hate to cut you out

Like a bad habit but I’m out

Of excuses for your attitude

It sucks, but

You are who you love

And I know it hurts

It hurts me too

But you are who you love

And I don’t want to be like you

And I know it hurts

I know it sounds cruel

But you are who you love

And I don’t want to be like you
