Lyrics:

I welcomed you inside cause you were cold and I had blankets,
I was home, you were a vagrant,
You were draining, I was patient.

You pocketed the keys and you felt safe behind the padlock,
Punching holes into the drywall,
Made me think that it was my fault.

Don’t say you hurt me for the better.

I’m more than just your character development,
An element of making you wise.
I heard you say that you’re a better man,
But I'm over it,
You’re sucking me dry,
I'm not your teacher, your mother, your savior, your lover, or out of my mind.
I’m more than just your character development,
To hell with it.

I heard it through the grapevine that you’re totally enlightened,
All your senses have been heightened,
And the ego is a tyrant.

I remember trying to break up and you threw an ugly tantrum,
Like someone who's never gotten a no for an answer.

Don’t say you hurt me for the better.

I’m more than just your character development,
An element of making you wise.
I heard you say that you’re a better man,
But I'm over it,
You’re sucking me dry,
I'm not your teacher, your mother, your savior, your lover, or out of my mind.
I’m more than just your character development,
To hell with it.

So make your bed and lie in it,
I won’t forget what you did.

I’m more than just your character development,
An element of making you wise.
I heard you say that you’re a better man,
But I'm over it,
You’re sucking me dry,
I'm not your teacher, your mother, your savior, your lover, or out of my mind.
I’m more than just your character development,
To hell with it.
