Not Gonna Happen

[Chorus]

I don't know what you want from me

Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?

I don't know what you want from me

Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook

I'm not yours to toss around

I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out

I'm not yours to fuck with

I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time

[Verse 1]

This is a promise, you said

Change is upon us, you said

Everything was about to take a turn for the better, I thought I'll let ya

Try to become someone new, try to rectify the nuisance

That you caused already, holdin' you on my back got so damn heavy

I was ready to let go and move on

But all I heard was, "no, why don't you hold on?"

A minute quickly turned into days

And soon, things returned to their old ways

Stuck in the middle again, why was I such a good friend?

Sacrificing my own sanity, can I be so naïve to believe this bullshit?

Talk means zilch without some action

Fool me twice, no, not gonna happen

Not gonna happen

Not-not-not gonna happen

No, not gonna happen

[Chorus]

I don't know what you want from me

Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?

I don't know what you want from me

Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook

I'm not yours to toss around

I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out

I'm not yours to fuck with

I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time

[Verse 2]

Each time, I made believe again

Rewind, erase the speech and then

Maybe things will turn around on their own

Conflicts resolved, this rip is sewn up

With a stitch or two, everything's right back to square two

'Cause square one is taken by the people who don't have a past or past disasters who think it'll last

We're inevitably co-dependent, and I'm insecure, you're fucked up for sure

So we need each other 'cause we feed each other

I can breathe another breath

No oxygen I'm letting in until I finally fix this mess

You monopolize my time, suck my energy, my life

You changed me for the worst, you see

Catalyzed catastrophe within me

And I refuse to let you back

And fool me twice, no, not gonna happen

No, not gonna happen

Not-not gonna happen

Not gonna happen this time

[Chorus]

I don't know what you want from me

Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?

I don't know what you want from me

Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook

I'm not yours to toss around

I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out

I'm not yours to fuck with

I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time

[Verse 3]

I was at the end of my wits

I could've given two large shits

You encroached on my life like a killer praying mantis might

To be perfectly honest, I sometimes tricked you and hid in my closet

Always afraid you'd drop more bombs, it'd freak me out when you deposit

This big old load of stress on me

What, you think I'm not already stressing?

Potentially I got mouths to feed, and class to attend, schoolwork knee-deep

Not an endless supply of emotional support

My ship's not for every port, you seem

Like a cat, picking fights night after night

Some kinda psycho, right?

Your behavior made me say, "see you later"

Gotta fight for my rights as a human being

Get a new prescription 'cause you didn't see

How you played me like a marionette

I got wearier yet, you didn't care for me back then

And now I'm here rappin'

Fool me twice, no, not gonna happen

Not gonna happen

[Chorus]

I don't know what you want from me

Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?

I don't know what you want from me

Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook

I'm not yours to toss around

I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out

I'm not yours to fuck with

I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time
