about

This song is a cry for help for a true friend. I wrote it at a time when I felt I didn't have anyone around me who cared enough to call me out on my crap...

lyrics

Scared of fooling myself
Scared I'm losing the person you relied on
Ever since I left home I
Never felt so alone I
Started to realize that on my own, I am my own worst...

Enemy (Ah)
I'm just so sick and tired of people telling me
What they think I want to hear
Be a friend to me (Ah)
What you're hiding is only hurting me
Tell me what I need to hear

Gimme a little more tough love
Maybe I need to grow up
I think that I can take it
If it's coming from you, oh
If I'm becoming a problem
Baby, please tell me straight up
I think that I can take a little more of that tough love

I think I could take it
I need a little tough love
I know I can take it from you

Call me up on the phone
Call me out for never listening
I was acting wrong toward you
Don't ever stop telling the truth
Gotta let you
No matter how far I go
Never take you for my...

Enemy (Ah)
I'm just so sick and tired of people telling me
What they think I want to hear
Be a friend to me (Ah)
What you're hiding is only hurting me
Tell me what I need to hear

Gimme a little more tough love
Maybe I need to grow up
I think that I can take it
If it's coming from you, oh
If I'm becoming a problem
Baby, please tell me straight up
I think that I can take a little more of that tough love

I think I could take it
I need a little (Tough love)
I know I can take it from you (Tough love)
I think I could take it
I need a little (Tough love)
I know I can take it from you (Tough love)

I think I could take it
I need a little (Tough love)
I know I can take it from you (Tough love)
I think I could take it
I need a little (Tough love)
I know I can take it from you (Tough love)
