I've stuck around, through thick and through thin You cannot deny, I've always been in But I've watched you stand, still as a snowman But I don't see you change, you're always at meltdown Yeah I've been your crutch, your smell sight and touch Yeah I took you home when you've drunk too much But I can't survive, with you by my side See I'll never get laid, while I'm running your life No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away There is nothing that you can do I will not stay No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate So just cut me loose, learn to tie your shoes There's somebody here, I'd like to introduce So look in the mirror, look for the glass 'Cause you're not my problem, you are my last No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away There is nothing that you can do I will not stay No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away Yeah I am a girl with a lot on her plate No I just don't wanna, so I'm walking away There is nothing that you can do I will not stay No I don't need drama, so I'm walking away I'm just a girl that you lost to cocaine
