This new you

She accused me of not having any drive in life
She said that’s why she would never be my wife
Isn’t ironic, how the one thing that gave me drive and made me wanna be
Didn’t want to be with me because she saw no drive in me
“I’m saying no because people don’t really change, so you must be lying”
Says the girl who was desperately in love with me, without me even trying
“Well that’s my opinion and i’m gonna stick with it”
Well do you not think that makes you a hypocrite?
How come you can change so much that the idea of me makes you sick?
But when i say I’ve changed, you call me a liar and a prick?
“I hate you because you always think your right? “
“Have no time to explain now; have to go for a shite”
“No one can make you happy; no one can light your fire”
Oh please spare me this shit, your preaching to the choir
I wrote the book on being an Island do you not remember? And may i add
I shed not a single tear when i was burying my dad
When i saw him sick, i said to my friend i want him well or dead
So when he died i got on with it willingly and not with a dread
Even though i was very young, i knew then that, such is life
Now it’s funny listening to you feeding me all this rife
What? You got over me and now you think you know it all?
Trust me babe, if you keep thinking this way you’re going to fall
I know because I’ve seen it with my own eyes and been through it all
Just make sure you come out of it standing tall

You may like this new assertiveness and think that it’s cool
But it’s not the answer, it’s just a tool, and if you think otherwise you’re just a fool
In this path you have chosen, the roads are very rocky
Don’t make the mistake of getting too cocky
This is a journey for your mind but not your heart
After 13 years it brought me right back to the start
If i were you i would not take this route i wouldn’t take the bate
But if you do make sure by the time you return to earth, it’s not too late
