The Investment

You'd think it'd feel terrible To be so unappreciated When I'm always going "above and beyond" so to speak And yeah Sometimes it does But for the most part it hurts less because I'm aware of how much effort I put in At the end of the day It's them who are missing out Sure It's their choice Clearly they're short-sighted beyond measure if they can't even do what's in their own best interest And once I see that It's easy to detach from And I do thank them now Because had people in my past Been able to see my worth When I did When I do They would've stuck around But they wouldn't have met my standards then either And they'd still be here today Like a parasitic tie I couldn't cut Because I'm too loyal to people who don't deserve it If you know know her But when they unappreciate me and scurry out the door They hand me the scissors And I say thank you very much And it's done Because I'm more worried about finding people who do respect and honor the same standards I hold And not second-guessing them when they show up Rather than forcing 1s to put on a 4 mask They're not worth the investment But when they unappreciate me and scurry out the door They hand me the scissors And I say thank you very much And it's done Because I'm more worried about finding people who do respect and honor the same standards I hold And not second-guessing them when they show up Rather than forcing 1s to put on a 4 mask They're not worth the investment But when they unappreciate me and scurry out the door They hand me the scissors And I say thank you very much And it's done Because I'm more worried about finding people who do respect and honor the same standards I hold And not second-guessing them when they show up Rather than forcing 1s to put on a 4 mask They're not worth the investment They're not worth the investment They're not worth the investment They're not worth the investment They're not worth the investment
