Don’t you dare try to rescue me if your rope is too short

If you’re bouncing around like a ball on the court

If your love is unintentional or if your game is for sport

If you have unresolved feelings that you need to sort

If you are accustomed to girls bred in a chicken coupe

If you can’t say “hello” without loosening your belt loop

If you want me to jump through your fiery hoop

If I’m just a replacement or a substitute

If I’m a joke to onlookers because they know I’m a bet

It I’m just a wet hole and you need an outlet

If you know you are in emotional debt

If what’s special to me, you seem to forget

If your smile is plastic suffocated by a grin

If you’re not even comfortable in the skin you are in

If you are now reducing me to just a friend

Don’t be mad at me if I want it to end

If you don’t have a masterplan

Don’t even practice being the man

It’s THIS way not THAT way

UNDERSTAND

Love me only if you can

If your wounds are still open because scars don’t bleed

If I can’t run into your arms at top speed

If you can’t give what I ask or accept what you need

If I can’t nourish your soul with the love that I feed

If you’re not willing to grow with the best version of me

If when I speak my truth you perjure me

Putting a scrapple to my words like I’m in surgery

And then you beat me down verbally

Only inviting me in to hurry me

Lying to both of us…that worries me

Emotionally unavailable currently

I could never be her as she can never be me

If you paint the perfect picture…switch after bait

And lose yourself in a conundrum when I won’t wait

My cup runeth over/no space on this plate

My emotional checkup is up to date

If I can’t love you and me at the same time

If your reasons and my reasons don’t rhyme

If together we cant walk a straight line

 I can walk away and be fine.

I can’t be your rib if you can’t be my rock

Don’t put my heart on your chopping block

I’m not that one for the restart and stop

Somebody will mess around and get molly whopped

Maybe just maybe Chivalry is dead

Are you offended because your rights have been read

If these words don’t make sense in your head

Believe what you will BUT ….
