Justina Shandler - My Careful Reinvention

Maybe I got wiser
Maybe I’m just older
But something’s gotta change
In our dysfunctional culture
I’ll meet you where you’re at
And listen to your problems
But I’m not a welcome mat
That you can wipe your dirty paws on
I simply do not have space for it
Go find another place for it
Cause my careful reinvention is in jeopardy
Every time you’re close to me
I wish it weren’t so
But I’m in love with how I set a boundary
You don’t have to be proud of me
Just needed you to know
You’re all up in arms now
Cause I won’t do you a favor
You know you’re gonna be just fine
When I decline
Providing free emotional labor
So I’m gonna keep my fence up
Maybe someday I’ll take it down
I swear I’m not above you
But I am above losing myself
Yeah, my careful reinvention is in jeopardy
Every time you’re close to me
I wish it weren’t so
But I’m in love with how I set a boundary
You don’t have to be proud of me
Just needed you to know
If I stay
There’s no way
For me to grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
Grow
My careful reinvention
My careful reinvention, yeah
My careful reinvention is in jeopardy
Every time you’re close to me
I wish it weren’t so
But I’m in love with how I set a boundary
You don’t have to be proud of me
Just needed you to know
If I stay
There’s no way
For me to grow
