lyrics

It was what you wanted
Now it’s what I need
Are we together or not
I’m feeling stuck in between

At first I really fought it
I like having you around
But soon enough I spotted
This one-way street downtown

And it’s hard and it’s hardly the end of the road
But I can’t let go just yet
And you know it, I’ve told you, it’s bold of you
To ask me to stay attached

It’s just favors for favors
And a spiderweb of strings
Do you only want a man
Who’s gonna get you everything?
Some cheap entertainment
For the price of honesty
And up till now that wasn’t a hard sell to me

I put my phone on silent
And try and cut out the noise
Remembering in the quiet
The things I used to enjoy

But putting up boundaries seems to make it worse
Wrapped around your finger till blood vessels burst
And it hurts to feel
Like all I do is annoy you

And it’s hard and it’s hardly the end of the road
But I can’t let go just yet
And you know it, I’ve told you, it’s bold of you
To ask me to stay attached

It’s just favors for favors
And a spiderweb of strings
Do you only want a man
Who’s gonna get you everything?
Some cheap entertainment
For the price of honesty
And up till now that wasn’t a hard sell to me

It was what you wanted
And now it’s what I need
I used to come when you called
I used to follow your lead
You said you felt too exhausted
That you wanted to be free
It was what you wanted
Now it’s what I need
