ACT III: Quid Pro Quo Songtext
von Laura Marano

I′ve been doing this for too long
I've seen too many things
Tried to push away the bitterness
Tried to forgive every sting
But it′s getting a little too hard
I'm getting jaded as I grow
If we're all just trying our best
Why are we so alone

I don′t know what′s worse
Those who only call for favors
Or those you stopped taking my calls
I know it just hurts when they only want one thing
Or think that I'm nothing at all


It′s my job as a commodity
To make people understand
But I'm so sick and tired
Of being reduced to a brand
Thought I′d be okay
To make my own way
No one's gonna do it for me

But I can′t pretend
That I'm not
Fucking lonely
Cause I am
So alone
They only want one thing
When they're on the phone

I do it too
It feels like shit
Quid pro quo′s
Not a friendship
No it′s not
But it's all that we′re taught
