act i i i quid pro quo

Laura Marano

I ve been doing this for too long
I ve seen too many things
Tried to push away the bitterness
Tried to forgive every sting

But it s getting a little too hard
I m getting jaded as I grow
If we re all just trying our best
Why are we so alone

I don t know what s worse
Those who only call for favors
Or those you stopped taking my calls
I know it just hurts when they only want one thing
Or think that I m nothing at all

It s my job as a commodity
To make people understand
But I m so sick and tired
Of being reduced to a brand

Thought I d be okay
To make my own way
No one s gonna do it for me

But I can t pretend
That I m not
Fucking lonely

Cause I am
So alone
They only want one thing
When they re on the phone

I do it too
It feels like shit
Quid pro quo s
Not a friendship

No it s not
But it s all that we re taught
