Not Today Mate

Please don't patronise me

Because Iay my heart upon my sleeve

Truth be told, I've met a few types like these

And clear as day, you don't value me

Put in hours, hours of work on myself

So please approach with caution when your ego swells

Still on the mend, but not about to give in

You need to learn, learn my limits

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel that light

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're feeding off my energy

Please let me go and be

Forgiving's what you want but it don't come for free, no

Forgiveness comes with the space to let me be, yeah, yeah

And I don't think you've ever met a type like me

Clear as day, you don't value me

I'll never be a puppet on your strings

Won't fit into moulds you created

From a long, long line of strong women

So show respect 'bout where I've been

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel that light

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're drawing down my energy

You have to go and leave

Every time I think you've changed, you come and show

The nostalgia's wearing thin and now I know

The rules have changed, I'm taking some control

No more energy expelled, you got to go

You don't do me right

Stuck somewhere in your ego

Too far to feel that light

At my expense you regrow

Bad feeling when you're close to me

Like you're drawing down my energy

You have got to leave
