I Would Love To Give Up

I open my mouth

And words just fly out

And I cannot stop them

I try…

But I am only so much

I'm would love to give up

You have picked me to the bone

You kick the leg you stand on

I am only so much

And nothing much is left of me

You take more, more, more,

'Till I'm gone

'Till I'm good to no one

I open my heart

You tear me apart

And I cannot stop you

You love to point out

Some stupid thing that I forgot to do

Like I should strive to be you

But I am only so much

I'm about to give up

You have picked me to the bone

You kick the leg you stand on

I am only so much

Less and less is left of me

You take more, more, more,

'Till I'm gone

'Till I'm good to no one

I am only so much

Only I protect me

Will that ever be enough?

I open my eyes
