Lyrics
Why do I always have to be the police to get you to shut up when I speak
Expressing frustration about the need to enforce silence when speaking.
Always want someone to call the cops but I can tell you myself that you just suck
Rejecting the idea of involving authorities, asserting that the person in question is unpleasant.
Please don't make me be
Avoiding a role that lacks compassion or understanding.
Someone with no sympathy
Resisting being unsympathetic or indifferent.
How can you tell that I always mean to be mean when you're not even listening
Addressing the assumption that intentions are malicious when communication is disregarded.
Always want someone to be your mom but I can tell you that I won't hang around long for that
Rejecting the role of a maternal figure, indicating a limited tolerance for such behavior.
You know I got your back but not your wrongs
Expressing loyalty but not condoning wrongful actions or behavior.
Please don't make me be
Avoiding becoming unsympathetic despite external pressures.
Someone with no sympathy
Reiterating the desire to maintain empathy and understanding.
