Half Shelf Life Songtext
von Carrie Akre

Half Shelf Life
I don′t want to and you can't make me
Do what I don′t want
I am tired of being taken advantage of
So stop before you start
Cause I am not your money maker
You are not my best friend
We'd be lying to each other if we said different

These days I realize
Life goes by so fast
If I close my eyes for too long
I'm going to miss the one I have
Cause I′ve been spending time on everyone
Burning out like a smoking gun
There′ll be nobody else to blame but myself


I am tired, wasted and using all my friends
The truth is I need some time to myself
To figure out what's next
It is lonely inside this half shelf life
I am lonely inside this half shelf life

The truth is I don′t need you
I don't want you
So I won′t keep you
Believe me I appreciate all you think you do
But I've been spending time on everyone
Tripping over things I′ve left undone
I'll be talking all about it
Just to myself

I am tired, wasted and using all my friends
The truth is I need some time to myself
To figure out what's next
It is lonely inside this half shelf life
I am lonely inside this half shelf life


Caged little bird carry the word
Fly as fast as you can
Cause I need to know which way to go
To capture the music within
If I set you free
Will you come and find me
And show the secrets to life
So I can be magnificently
Hopeful, rejuvant and light

I don′t want to and you can′t make me
Do what I don't want
I am tired of being taken advantage of
So stop before you start
Cause I am not your money-maker
You are not my best friend
We′d be lying to each other if we said different
