Not on me

I hate it when you do that
When you put it all on me.
I know you've got your problems
But I got ones you don't see.

I don't need your anger.
I've got plenty enough as it is.
So instead of making a fuss over my emotions,
Go ask him about his

It's not fair for you to say that
And everything else you've said.
I don't need your insensitive thoughts
Floating around in my head

I've got enough things to worry about
Without you thinking you can do this to me.
Especially when I listened.
When no one else heard your plea.

I get that you're mad
And upset at things I might not understand.
But don't make me always feel
As if I'm on a witness stand.

Because it's not okay
For you to treat me like shit.
Remember that next time you go to speak
Don't, and just deal with it.

So if you continue to hurt,
And take it out on me
I'll get up and away from you.
And I won't think twice before I leave.
