I used to be afraid of myself Hung my smile on a shelf Hid my teeth when I laughed
Now I'm far too grown For your plot, for your palm Will you root for me Or will you leave?
I don't wanna compromise Can we make it through the night I'm tryin to see eye-to-eye But you look right over me Your words stuck on repeat And I'm tired of ya
It's not that I'm bored I just heard it before The space you take up The curve of your learning That's my labor, my love
Explaining myself again I could have run a mile instead I could have twist my ends Instead, I'm laid out in bed Gaslight in my head, but I said What I said
I don't wanna compromise Can we make it through the night I'm tryin to see eye-to-eye But you look right over me Your words stuck on repeat And I'm tired of your shit
