(Verse 1)
Every time the phone rings, it's the same old show,
They only hit me up when they need a little glow,
Like I'm Mr. Captain Save-A-Hoe,
Running 'round, fixing problems that they never show.
(Chorus)
Why they only call me when the sky is falling?
Expectations high, yeah, they keep on calling,
Like I’m made of steel, never ever stalling,
But I’m tired, tired of always brawling.
(Verse 2)
They don’t see the weight I carry on my back,
Just want me to rescue, never cut me slack,
I’m more than a hero in their one-sided act,
But I keep on giving, even when I’m cracked.
(Chorus)
Why they only call me when the sky is falling?
Expectations high, yeah, they keep on calling,
Like I’m made of steel, never ever stalling,
But I’m tired, tired of always brawling.
(Bridge)
I’m not just a lifeline, I’m a person too,
Got my own battles, got my own view,
Maybe one day they’ll see me true,
Until then, I’m just playing my rescue.
(Outro)
So here’s to the ones who only call when in need,
I’m more than a savior, more than a deed,
Gonna find my peace, gonna plant my seed,
Not just a hero, but a soul freed.
