Allison Ponthier Character Development Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I welcomed you inside 'cause you were cold and I had blankets
I was home, you were a vagrant
You were draining, I was patient
You pocketed the keys and you felt safe behind the padlock
Punching holes into the drywall
Made me think that it was my fault

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say you hurt me for the better
[Chorus]
I'm more than just your character development
An element of making you wise
I heard you say that you're a better man
But I'm ovеr it, you're sucking me dry
I'm not your teachеr, your mother, your savior
Your lover, or out of my mind
I'm more than just your character development to hell with it

[Verse 2]
I heard it through the grapevine that you're totally enlightened
All your senses have been heightened and the ego is a tyrant
But I remember trying to break up and you threw an ugly tantrum
Like someone who's never gotten a "No" for an answer [Pre-Chorus]
Don't say you hurt me for the better

[Chorus]
I'm more than just your character development
An element of making you wise
I heard you say that you're a better man
But I'm over it, you're sucking me dry
I'm not your teacher, your mother, your savior
Your lover, or out of my mind
I'm more than just your character development to hell with it
[Bridge]
So, make your bed and lie in it
Make your bed and lie in it
So, make your bed and lie in it
I won't forget what you did

[Chorus]
I'm more than just your character development
An element of making you wise
I heard you say that you're a better man
But I'm over it, you're sucking me dry
I'm not your teacher, your mother, your savior
Your lover, or out of my mind
I'm more than just your character development to hell with it
