Not My Job - Mal Blum

Don’t send me an email

I don’t wanna hear it

Don’t blame me for things that

I didn’t do

Don’t leave me a note where

You think I will see it

What makes you think I

Want something from you

'Cause if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

I promise you that I will

I promise you that I will

You know if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

Because it’s not my job to make you well

It’s not my job to make you well

It’s not my job to make you well

Some people lash out

Some people shrink

I think that it’s too soon

To know which you will be

I turn it all inwards

They say that’s what makes you sad

But I’m not a kid now

And you’re not from the past

So if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

I promise you that I will

I promise you that I will

You know if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

Because it’s not my job to make you well

It’s not my job to make you well

It’s not my job to make you well

Don’t know why I do it

I’m a bird with a broken wing

I need something to care about

I need someone to care for me

Do you want some company

Do you need some comforting

And I will take care of you

But not if it’s bad for me

You know if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

'Cause you gotta protect yourself

You gotta protect yourself

You know if I have to

I’ll kill off my better self

Because it’s not my job to make you well

It’s-- it’s not your job to make me well

It’s not your job to make me well

My job to make you well

It’s not your job it’s not my job

To make you well
