Leave Me Alone

Locked together by offspring, love and hate
A drama magnet, dammit, but you stay around
Stringing me along for the ride, but it's over
Go be with him and please, leave me alone

You know me better than I know myself
You know my moods, you know what I'm thinking
But somehow, I am still cloaked in mystery
Know me that well, you know to leave me alone

Your face twists into a weird, contorted knot
Exasperated sighs when I try to open up to you
And got the nerve to wonder why I'm private
If my feelings are a burden, leave me alone

Aesthetic distance gone, I'm subversive
Everything I write a snide shot at somebody
The only thing you ask is "is that about me?"
No, but I wish it was, now leave me alone

I reach out to you, wanting to be close to you
But I get pushed away at every attempt I make
Then, when you're lonely, you wanted me all along
Don't suddenly think of me now, leave me alone

'06 is the end of the drama, and that baby mama
Negative energy the only thing that awaits me
It's time to let go, throw bullshit to the side
If you ain't about positivity, leave me alone
