Carrie Akre Half Shelf Life
Well I don't want to and you can't make me do what I don't want
I am tired of being taken advantage of, so stop before you start
'Cause I am not your money maker and you are not my best friend
We'd be lying to each other if we said different
These days I realize life goes by so fast
If I close my eyes for too long, I'm gonna miss the one I have
'Cause I've been spending time on everyone
And burning out like a smoking gun
Nobody else to blame but myself
Hell I am tired, wasted, using all my friends
And the truth is I need some time to myself to figure out what's next
Hell I am lonely inside this half shelf life
Yeah, it's lonely inside this half shelf life
Yeah, well, the truth is I don't need you or want you, so I won't keep you
Believe me, I appreciate all you think you do
But I've been spending time on everyone
Tripping over things I've left undone
I've been talking all about it just to myself
Hell I am tired, wasted, using all my friends
And the truth is I need some time to myself to figure out what's next
Hell it is lonely inside this half shelf life
Yeah, it's lonely inside this half shelf life
Caged little bird, carried the world
Fly as fast as you can
'Cause I need to know which way to go
To capture the music with
If I set you free, will you come and find me
And show me the secret of life
So I can be magnificently
Well I don't want to and you can't make me do what I don't want
I am tired of being taken advantage of, so stop before you start
'Cause I am not your money maker and you are not my best friend
We'd be lying to each other if we said different
