Grab your jacket and put on your boots

Drive until the end of time

Run, run, run you stupid girl and don't look back.

Jump in the car and drive as far as you can.

Time to make some changes and put yourself first.

No one cares about you. They only care about what you can do for them.

You’re turn to take, take, take and stop giving.

They’re only pissed at what you can no longer provide.

You see people's true colours when you start to set boundaries.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries

What an interesting word

No one cares about you unless you have something to give.

In that case, you don't care about them either.
