'No More Favours'
Sometimes the best thing you can do for a person is nothing at all.
No More Favours is a song about recognizing your impact on a person and it’s negative effects. Sometimes helping someone can be doing them an injustice. In this song we present a confronting message to someone close that its because I love you that I can no long help you. No more favors is saying to a friend or relative – ‘I want to see you grow but that won’t happen as long I’m doing you helping you out.’
No More Favours
Lyrics
I’m letting you grow through letting you know.
Verse 01
We’ve been here before.
Yeah you come knock my door.
Talking over some tea.
Yeah that’s right, I go lend you my key.
and I’ve felt your pain.
I see your failing to aim.
Then I give you a crutch,
and you give me your trust.
It’s doing nothing for us
when I’m lifting you up.
and then you come around
and I’m filling your cup.
An its all love
but its never enough
I’m giving you more,
not doing favours no more.
Chorus
I’m letting you grow,
through letting you know.
It’s no more favours no more,
it’s no more favours no more.
Verse 02
I know what you been looking for
an around this corner is not the former
not the centre stage that needs a performer
I’m on a separate page an I wont disengage
I want you free from your cage.
You don’t need me I’m afraid.
I only feed you, that will keep you in your cage.
And the sequel needs you to be brave.
Find your own way,
I’ll remind you to play.
because that’s working stuff out.
Find it within when you go without.
Without a doubt with no more favours,
you’ll figure it out.
And the sequel needs you to be brave.
Find your own way,
I’ll remind you to play.
because that’s working stuff out.
Find it within when you go without.
Without a doubt with no more favours,
you’ll figure it out.
Chorus
Verse 03
Its better for you when I’m giving you less
its all love and that’s all that you get.
A solution is out there
an its not what you’d expect.
An expectation is not who you met.
A fixation, on dictation,
information and persuasion to feel right
where you sit.
and from right where I sit its a mold
that doesn’t quite fit.
I love your spirit so much I wanna give it a gift.
that’s no more favors a new place on this trip.
Come speaking in tongues,
and ill give you some lip.
Chorus out
