I Know Better To Settle

I Know Better To Settle

 

Feel the needles and knives as they rush in to my veins

And I don’t know how many times, but I’m going insane

 

Did I hurt you, can I not be loved too?

Or did I kill you, with everything I ever needed?

Were you with her too, but did she feel you

And did she listen?

I was listening

 

I gave my all, and here I am

But you let me fall, and I keep crawling back to your love

I keep crawling, and where are you darling?

 

It might be the society that’s got you incomplete

They took a love song and turned it into whatever

Whatever may fit, whatever gets the boys under her sweet covers

 

I am not one for giving up my hand

I’m taking a stand

But that’s when you come clinging on to me

 

I’m human too, why can’t you see it?

You’ve got the issues, I’m always consistent

I know you won’t wait around when you’ve always got what you wanted

 

I don’t feel you, not like I wish to

When true love finds you, not one just makes an effort, it takes two

It takes two, and I know better than to settle…
