Verse 1

Been trying to understand the subtleties of a relationship
Without being arrogant
Did my stint
In holy wedlock
At the end I was in shock
Could clearly taste the hemlock
Took a walk around the block
While the clock advanced
Spring forward one hour
Reversing daylight savings
And thus born a flower
From insecure cravings
Bathing in showers of a scathing narration
Would haunt me in my sleep
At most, would catch like 10 hours a week
Those closest to me peeped
That i could hardly eat
Looking Los Angeles “heroine chic”
But heavy on my heart was defeat
Failure to meet
That place where two souls emerge
And make something sweet
Within me I could find
Both Beauty and The Beast
Fragile
Held the mirror up but couldn't take a peak
Future looking bleak
Stigmatism
Could barely see the end of the week
Mirage in the heat
Back up out the kitchen
Broke ain’t always worth fixing!
Opposites only blend
When they’re consistently shaken
But stop putting in the work
And see which one is floating
Coasting
The other holding one up
It’s all abrupt
To the one who lives life with eyes closed

Y’know, I’m beginning to think that maybe I’M the one with the problem…


Hook (x2)
Wish I could find the words to make it right
But everything I say turns into Dynamite
(Baby) It ain't you
It’s ME
I’d rather you be free
And genuinely open to what makes you happy


Verse 2

He’s looking at me like I’m a rose
In the garden of his wildest imagination
I know I’m fascinating
But I think he’s vacillating
Between an ideal
And infatuation
Fail to be patient
I’m tryna bring it back to basics
Relationship status?
It’s “not that complicated”
Against my better judgement
I should have waited
Insure we BOTH could be satiated
He claimed he was Atlas
Could magically support the both of us
Like those bras strapless
But there’s always strings attached
The distant harmony seemed a perfect match
But proximity reveals cracks
The kind that can’t be easily patched
We simply crossed paths
Like a cross hatch
Sick of love being comic book material
One day we’re chilling
The next, I’m the villain
Cuz i can’t recognize
All those feelings you hold in
Hit the glass ceiling
Tuck your chin and tip toeing
Outta of the last couple of months
That were golden
You played a mean hand
But i see you folding
Matters of the heart
I learned there’s no controlling

Hook (x2)

Wish I could find the words to make it right
But everything I say turns into Dynamite
It ain't you
It’s ME
I’d rather you be free
And genuinely open to what makes you happy

Wish I could find the words to make it right
Baby, It ain't you (Hey)
It’s ME

Wish I could find the words to make it right
Baby, It ain't you (Hey)
It’s ME
