Dont Tell Me
Lyrics and Music by Kelly Cate

You told me things, you told me lies,
You never thought I’d realize
That you were not exactly what you seem.
You told me things you thought were true,
Like I was lucky to be with you
And that you were the man of my dreams.
You told me what to do and say,
You even told me what to think
And who I couldn’t talk to on the phone.
It took a while to come around,
But today I’ve finally found
That I could do much better on my own.

Chorus:
I’m tired of the abuse
I’m tired of being used
To make your friends think you’re hot.
I’m tired of 2nd place
I’m tired of your face
I’m tired of getting one last shot
I’m tired of feeling down
Whenever you’re around
Now’s the time to rise above
I’m tired of feeling weak
I’m stronger than you think
Don’t try to tell me this is love.

You are not a god to me
But that’s what you tried to be,
And what you tried to get me to believe.
Well, here I am, I’m telling you
That this time, the goddess rules,
And she’ll decide just who she wants to be.
For years, I waited in your corner--
You made me the harbor for
All of your insecurities.
You had so much control on me,
That you never thought I’d see
It’s you that don’t deserve to be with me.

Chorus
