Whitmer Thomas
The Codependent Enabler
[Verse 1]
If you've got cut marks
I will love you
If you've ever OD'd
Then you were made for me
If you don't talk to your parents
I'll be your parent
You don't need therapy
'Cause you've got me
Yes, you've got me
This is why

[Chorus]
I have a dream where I'm your hero
'Cause I can only get it up if you are down
Is it toxic masculinity?
Is it ego?
I'll distract you from the issue
While you crumble to the ground
(And you will)
Crumble to the ground

[Verse 2]
I will never challenge you
To get better
I will tell you
That it's all your friends' fault
I will stay inside with you
In sunny weather
Buy a lot of healthy food
And watch it rot
(Yes, watch it rot)
One more time

[Chorus]
I have a dream where I'm your hero
'Cause I can only get it up if you are down
And I'll support whatever narrative that you need
To make it seem like your old friends are the crazy ones
Not you
Definitely not you
(Not you)

[Verse 3]
Until one day
When I go
Out of town
And you go
To a bar
And run into an old coworker
You'll talk about self-care
And I'll text you goodnight
And you'll forget to respond
And this will go on and on
And on and on and

[Chorus]
I had a dream where I was your hero
'Cause I am toxic masculinity
I am ego
And so your old friend Jane
Introduced you to a therapist
As it turns out I am leeching
Off your codependence
Your codependence
Your codependence
Your codependence
