Lyrical lies

i'm listening to the lies leak
through the radio
behind the static of your voice
these lyrics are driving me mad

i'm not going to be your umbrella
(ella ella)
i'm tired of being left in the corner
quiet in the shadow
till life gets rough
tired of you shoving me small
in the edges of your mind
then stretching me wide
hiding beneath me while the hail beats down
letting me take the rain
asking me to deal with the pain
not even asking
just pressing your little buttons
expecting me to react as i always do
cause i swore that oath
to be there till the end
but you know what?
i swore that to my friend
i'm not sure who you are anymore

I'd like to help you fly away
but for now i'll just tell you
i promised i was here to stay
and i won't turn my back on you.
