Lyrics Stay Away - Notions

Stay Away

Under my skin, I feel you lingering
I’m not your kin;
I’m not your family
I can’t begin to get the way you think
I am the end;
I am the reckoning
How can you say that you’ve been thinkin bout me?
I haven’t seen you since I was three and you forgot about me
I think it’s funny that you don’t see me till success around me
Not like I needed a father or a helping hand to guide me
It doesn’t matter, guess I never needed anybody
Is what I’m starting to say
Think all the time about how you were never there for me
And it is killing me
I’m all alone it’s nothing new I came prepared for it
I think I like it this way
You made me what I’ve become when you abandoned me
Please understand that you were never good enough
All your regret is all that flows inside my blood
I can’t pretend that you’ve been forgiven, you must be trippin'
I don’t expect you to understand all my hateful feelings
Cus when it comes down to brass tacks, you weren’t there
And I’ve been hurting my whole life, you don’t care
And you don’t know the first thing about me, bud
All of my strife and my desire to be free, but
This is too much I’m gonna ask you to give me up
You’re so pathetic, what on earth are you fighting for?
Yeah I am out here I’m looking for something, steady searching
And I’ve been broken for years, and you thought I wasn’t worth it
But all this time I been working to make my goals for certain
I’m finally puttin' you in the past, I’m done with hurting
