The Good Guy Discount

I used to cut my price in half before anybody asked Dance a midnight favor smiling then resent them in the backseat Said yes so fast it sounded kind really I was scared to know Thought a decent man was measured by how little space he owned Helped you move on my one free Sunday carried boxes up four floors You said I'd do the same thing for you then left before we built my drawers Covered shifts for people laughing at the bar across the street Told myself I like being needed while I ate my dinner coated three You got used to my convenience called it who I naturally am Funny how my generous nature always followed your demand No more good guy discount full price for my time You can love me you can leave me you cannot spend what is mine Kindness is not an open account Patience is not permission No more good guy discount read the terms before you enter I can't help without becoming the floor beneath your feet I can listen without carrying every secret home with me I can be a solid person and still let your car go through A boundary isn't punishment sometimes it is overdue My cousin asked to borrow money third time since the start of spring I said I can buy your groceries I can keep financing everything He called me different called me selfish said success had changed my tone I nearly sent the cash from habit then set the shaking phone back down If my no changes your opinion then your yes was never love You enjoyed the easy access you did not enjoy me enough No more good guy discount full price for my time You can love me you can leave me you cannot spend what is mine Kindness is not an open account Patience is not permission No more good guy discount read the terms before you enter First few weeks felt like withdrawal empty evenings guilty sleep I kept checking every silence for a person mad at me Then my brother called on Friday asked if I could watch his kid I said not tonight I'm worn out he said alright and that was it No punishment no little speech no invoice for the years I learned healthy people hear about you without turning it into fear Now when I give I give it cleanly no secret anger in the act When I don't have it I say plainly and let the answer carry that I am still the man who'll help you still the first to bring a chair I just stop confusing being useful with the reason people care No more good guy discount full price No more good guy discount full price
