Switch It Off

I used to hope that you would just disappear.
I used to hope that you would fall off the earth.
But you’re still here like you would be.
You’re still here, but now you can be ignored.
I won’t bow for your expectations no more.
I can’t eat away of myself no more.
I do love you, as I’m supposed to.
I do need you, but I learned to switch it off.
Sometimes I think that if you ask me now
I don’t think that I would say yes.
I do love you, like I’m supposed to.
I do need you, but I learned to switch it off.
Now you want me to fall into your eyes.
Now you want me to be the offspring to take yourself further.
Now you need me on your deathbed.
And now you see me, now you don’t.
I won’t bow for your expectations no more.
I can’t eat away of myself no more.
I do love you, as I’m supposed to.
I do need you, but I learned to switch it off.
