Brett Franklin - DEAR DAVID Lyrics

Dear David, you're stressing me out
Like every word that ever comes from your mouth
It seems, to you, that everything I do is wrong
Dear David, you're making me cry
Replaying your jokes all damn night
It seems, to you, that this is maybe more than a job
Look, all I know is that I gave it my best (Gave it my best)
I tried for me and you were just like the rest (Just like the rest)
You tell me what I wanna hear and then you drag me along
When all I did was give the best parts of me
I take it home when you had just made me bleed
But you're the hero in every movie you make
Dear David, you're making me mad
Why turn back on plans that we had?
You made a fool of me, are you some devotee?
Just give me a sign so I can move on
Onto bigger and better places
Making bigger and better wages
And I can stop all the messages to David
Look, all I know is that I gave it my best (Gave it my best)
I tried for me and you were just like the rest (Just like the rest)
You tell me what I wanna hear and then you drag me along
When all I did was give the best parts of me
I take it home when you had just made me bleed
But you're the hero in every movie you make
Dear David
All I know is that I really wanted this to work
I wouldn't start somewhere just to watch me burn
But I should've known it all from the very first day
'Cause as I'm walking in you didn't even say, "Hey"
Dear David
Look, all I know is that I gave it my best (Gave it my best)
I tried for me and you were just like the rest (Just like the rest)
You tell me what I wanna hear and then you drag me along (Dear David)
When all I did was give the best parts of me
I take it home when you had just made me bleed
But you're the hero in every movie you make
And every time I lead, you know I won't lead the same
'Cause you taught me how to speak and you taught me how to blame
So I wrote a song for you and I changed your name
Yeah, I wrote a song for you, but I changed your name
Dear David
