flattery

it's the gamey parts I don't like
the ones where you say something false
to get what you want
and then I'm believing admiration
comes from a lack of self-love
because giving praise always seems false
especially from someone who doesn't love themselves

when I hear compliments over and over
it becomes unbelievable
and when you want something from me
I become suspicious

I don't want my friends to want anything from me
other than a good time
anything else they need
they know it will be given.
