Tired of clichés tired of old wives' tales
There's not an aphorism made that can hold me back
Why won't you hold me back like you used to do

But it barely works for socks why would it work for mental breakdowns

And they say you'll never love me

But they've not been right so far
So I think that I'll continue to
