Lyrics

Stop pushing me around
You’re always kicking when I’m down
Then you find the way
To promise me a better day
Stop pushing me around

I’m not your trampoline
I won’t be around for you’d step on me
If you want me to stay you better…
Stop pushing me, stop pushing me
Stop pushing me around

Stop pushing me away
With all the stupid games you play
Don’t know how long I try
To keep this love alive
Stop pushing me away

I’m not your trampoline
I won’t be around for you’d step on me
If you want me to stay you better…
Stop pushing me, stop pushing me
Stop pushing me around

And after all this time together
You act like it doesn’t even matter
…Then you say that you love me
How can I believe you when you show me away

I’m not your trampoline
I won’t be around for you’d step on me
If you want me to stay you better…
Stop pushing me, stop pushing me
Stop pushing me around

I’m not your trampoline
I’m not your trampoline
Stop pushing me, stop pushing me
Stop pushing me around
