I deserve better than be a used, oh boy

For God’s sake have some self-respect

This is really making me like a used toy

My best friend is begging me to get a grip

I deserve better than to be called a troll

For God’s sake have some dignity

This is really starting to take it’s toll

My friends are telling to run far away

I deserve better than this false wealth

For God’s sake have some consistency

This is really damaging my fickle health

Everybody’s saying just forget every thing

I deserve better than to be used as a tool

For God’s sake have some compassion

This is really making me feel like a fool

The voice in my head told me to be strong

I deserve better than this lustful poverty

For God’s sake have some integrity

This is really making me brew verbal tea

Yet my heart wants to be at peace with you

I deserve better than to be this mad

For God’s sake have a heart

This is really making really me feel bad

I felt so used and betrayed

I deserve better than to be a slave

For God’s sake have some courage

This is really making me dive in a grave

The ones that love me want me here
