No Matter What I Do

No Matter What I Do

You try to tell me everything's gonna be all right
I'm a little hard pressed not to say you lie
You say, "work on your end", as you close your eyes
Well I don't see it ending well this time

So tired of the blame, so tired of being shamed by you
You always bring it down on me no matter what I do
As bad as you want me to, I can't be you
You always bring it down on me no matter what I do

Got me thinking that this might take a while
And again you dismiss me like a child
You say you 'love me', but I can see right through that smile
And I don't see it being worth the while

So tired of the blame, so tired of being shamed by you
You always bring it down on me no matter what I do
Just wanna let go and be done with what you put me through
'Cause you always bring it down on me no matter what I do

So tired of the blame, so tired of being shamed by you
Got a problem with me, even when I improve
This time, no I ain't trying, girl I'm leaving you
'Cause you always bring it down on me no matter what I do
