this was inspired by a post where someone was using an influencers suicide to say "guys reach out to your friends and family. 🥺 you aren't a burden. they want to help."

just call it what it is. a big fuckin burden.

---------------------------

did you hear? oh my god what a tragedy

I just wish she would've reached out to me

I told her anytime, she can always talk to me

so obviously—I did what I could

I did what I could

I said what I should

Yeah... people talk a good game

say the lines they know they should say

but just try to call their bluff it's always the same

now you're a bother—you brought them your problems

what? did you expect them to solve them?

let's be for real...

if you meant it you wouldn't have called them

only a girl—crying wolf, crying wolf

nobody wants to hear about

your struggles till you're dead

till you're hanging in your closet

with a note left on the bed

'cause then they get to be—the victim instead

I'm fine, yeah I'm fine, let me say it again

I learned the lines, learned I have to play pretend

'cause honesty didn't work the last time I tried

the wolf at the door is the one that lives inside

so I learned to shove it down—hide it, keep it quiet, but I'm—

only a girl—crying wolf, crying wolf

nobody wants to hear about

how you can't escape the noise

how the pressure builds and builds

till you hardly have a choice

man they're so understandin'—when it's hypothetical—theoretical

but they don't really want to hear it

when you're the least bit inconvenient

god forbid there's a chance you don't mean it

only a girl—crying wolf, crying wolf

stopped returning calls about a month ago

I just don't have it in me to put on the show

I don't want this

I don't want this anymore

I'm so exhausted

you say keep fighting but

you're not the one it's costing

I don't know why I'm like this

I don't know how to fix this

just tell yourself

you did all you could

you did all you could

you said what you should

just tell yourself

I'm only a girl crying wolf
