Clearing My Mind
[instrumental] [Intro] Some people stay only while they can take They call it friendship, but the whole thing is fake They take your effort and give nothing back I'm clearing my mind; I'm done with that [Verse 1] Their pattern became clear from how they act They need a favor, and suddenly they come back While they still benefit, they keep me close When I need help, they do not want to know Every favor comes with talk about trust Giving back is somehow asking too much Their needs come first; mine barely make the list That is no friendship I will ever miss [Pre-Hook] Your hand comes out whenever you need mine When I need yours, you never have the time That tells me more than any promise can Real friends still show up when I need a hand [Hook] Clearing my mind, I'm cutting fake friends loose All you do is take; your actions are the proof When I need help, the real ones still appear I keep the people I love and trust right here Care for your people like you care for yourself Do not call it friendship if you never help Give back the same respect you want to receive The world gets better when we practice what we preach [Verse 2] You judge every outcome by what you gain Someone else can lose, and you call it fair game As long as you benefit, their loss means less You want every benefit without any stress You expect support but never share the load Then you act surprised when I let you go A friendship like that only works one way Leaving it behind is better than making it stay [Verse 3] Real friends do more than talk every day Actions prove they care beyond what they say A real friend lends a hand when you need one Nobody keeps score of each favor done Good people stay when nothing can be gained Every favor stays a favor, not a trade Actions match the friendship that they claim Those are the ones who deserve the name [Hook] Clearing my mind, I'm cutting fake friends loose All you do is take; your actions are the proof When I need help, the real ones still appear I keep the people I love and trust right here Care for your people like you care for yourself Do not call it friendship if you never help Give back the same respect you want to receive The world gets better when we practice what we preach [Verse 4] People I love do not have to think like me Different goals do not change my loyalty I do not need to want the things they pursue If it matters to them, I can support it too Whenever I can help, I lend a hand Support matters, so I do what I can Good relationships need effort from both sides People who care about my life stay by my side [Verse 5] Taking care of myself still matters every day That does not mean I push good people away Protecting my time still leaves room for friends Fair boundaries do not mean the caring ends More people should consider who else pays Fewer would choose only what goes their way Fewer people would get used and left behind Life gets better when we keep others in mind [Hook] Clearing my mind, I'm cutting fake friends loose All you do is take; your actions are the proof When I need help, the real ones still appear I keep the people I love and trust right here Care for your people like you care for yourself Do not call it friendship if you never help Give back the same respect you want to receive The world gets better when we practice what we preach [Bridge] Fake friends show themselves by what they take Real friends stay when there is nothing to gain I will not keep giving where nothing comes back One-sided friendship is a bad match My people get support when I can give What makes them happy matters in the life I live Nobody close to me has to think like me Respect still works when we disagree Selfish choices push good people away Mutual care gives both sides reasons to stay Keep people close who value your life too Take care of them and let them care for you [Verse 6] Now I know who deserves my time Real support is easy to recognize Users can leave; I will not make them stay Good friends remain when fake ones fall away People I love get support when I can Their goals still matter, so I lend them a hand Caring beyond ourselves can change how people live The world gets better when more people choose to give [Pre-Hook] Your hand comes out whenever you need mine When I need yours, you never have the time That tells me more than any promise can Real friends still show up when I need a hand [Hook] Clearing my mind, I'm cutting fake friends loose All you do is take; your actions are the proof When I need help, the real ones still appear I keep the people I love and trust right here Care for your people like you care for yourself Do not call it friendship if you never help Give back the same respect you want to receive The world gets better when we practice what we preach [Outro] Keep the real ones close and let users leave Give people the same care you want to receive I protect my peace and still support my own The world gets better when real support is shown
