Some People Are Not Worth My Time
I sat on the phone with my ex
Talking for four maybe five minutes and
It didn't take me long to realize that
Some people are not worth my time.
He went on and on about how
Him not being happy was completely my fault
To hell with that!
God forbid I ever told him he’s wrong because
He believed it was impossible for the fall of our relationship
To be his fault
He tried dating a friend of mine too
But blamed me when they didn’t work
One bad apple spoils the whole bunch
I guess
I let him believe what he wanted because
Some people are just not worth my time.
Why should I pretend to care
About his feelings
Tell him that I understand where he’s coming from
The devil is a lie!
I tried my best, I did it’s true
But I can’t spend my time explaining
How hard it was for me to leave
Standing on the land debating on
Whether or not I wanted to jump on Noah’s ark
Do I really want to watch him drown in the flood of his own toxicity?
Am I wrong for believing that if I leave now that God would save me
And bring me to someone new
fresh
pure and appreciative?
I’m here for a good time not a long time
Why waste it on someone else
And not myself
Yet I’m so thankful I got to talk to him that day
Because it reminded me
Some people are not worth my time.
