about
"Drain Me", is pretty self-explanatory. It’s about not
letting a toxic person suck you of your light. It’s about self-respect."
–Marlon Chaplin
lyrics
Hey,
I don’t see you anymore,
But I don’t blame you,
Not coming ‘round here - showing your face,
I could spit it like you but it ain’t my place,
And I got memories of nothing written in the back of my brain,
It’s like the same old conversation,
Just pointless aggravation,
You know it’s alright by me,
If you want to stay here,
The truth may be hard to see,
But I don’t really blame you,
Now don’t apologize for me,
It ain’t worth the laughter,
It’s a’ hard comin’ down on me,
But don’t expect to drain me,
You can’t deceive me any more than I can tame you,
I’ve lost all my interest in this fractured connection,
I got no burning desire left here to offer protection,
So don’t make it seem so simple when you just want your way,
It’s like the same old conversation,
Just some useless information,
You know it’s alright by me,
If you want to stay here,
The truth may be hard to see,
But I don’t really blame you,
Now don’t apologize for me,
It ain’t worth the laughter,
It’s a’ hard comin’ down on me,
But don’t expect to drain me,
Don’t drain me,
No,
Don’t drain me,
No.
