I think I'm picking up a pattern
I was the middle school mother to my neighbors' kids
And everybody thereafter
What a brutal breakthrough with my therapist
Been the 2am breakup friend
The sober driver pulling in
I've sat by hospital beds
Since I was just a kid
I'm always at the right place at the right time
But not 'cause I wanted to be
Now I'm stuck here on the front lines
Is that all I know how to be
Caretaker, a natural
And with arms breaking I'll carry the weight
Like it's casual
No matter who it is yeah I give and I give
Everything that I have to a stranger
But when it's me bleeding and I need it
Why can't I be a care taker
I give and I give
And I can't take anything back
I give and I give
And I won't take anything back
I turned down your ride to the airport
I didn't wanna put you out
But you said that that's what you're there for
But I'm convinced I'm a burden now
What you give is what you get back
In my head it doesn't work like that
So I push you to the sidelines
It's not your job, it's mine
I'm a caretaker
A natural
And with arms breaking
I'll carry the weight like it's casual
No matter who it is yeah I give and I give
Everything that I have to a stranger
But when it's me bleeding and I need it
Why can't I be a care taker
I give and I give
And I can't take anything back
I give and I give
And I won't take anything back
I give and I give
And I can't take anything back
Yeah I give and I give
And I won't take anything back
I'm always at the right place at the right time
But not ‘cause I wanted to be
How bad is it gonna have to get until I
Let someone show up for me
I'm a caretaker, a natural
And with arms breaking
I'll carry the weight
Like it's casual
No matter who it is yeah I give and I give
Everything that I have to a stranger
But when it's me bleeding and I need it
No I can't give in when you give it
Why can't I be a care taker
I give and I give
And I can't take anything back
I give and I give
And I won't take anything back
