[Verse 1]
What really seems to eat my lunch
Is you deciding what I want
Like you already know my ending
Before I even get to start
You say you’re keeping things from breaking
But you’re breaking me in half
You say you’re saving us from hurting
But it’s me you never ask
[Chorus]
It bites my ass I’m not allowed
The chance to make you happy now
Or find a different way to love you
Than you have ever even known
You tell me what I feel
Then run
You slam the door and say we’re done
But you don’t get to say you know me
Then tell me I should go be gone
[Verse 2]
You say I want what you want
Like your fears live in my chest
You talk for me in every argument
Then say you tried your best
Just let me fail in my own fashion
Let me try and miss the mark
I’d rather bleed from my own choices
Than sit safe here in the dark
[Chorus]
It bites my ass I’m not allowed
The chance to make you happy now
Or find a different way to love you
Than you have ever even known
You tell me what I feel
Then run
You slam the door and say we’re done
But you don’t get to say you know me
Then tell me I should go be gone
[Bridge]
If you don’t want me
Say you don’t want me (say it)
Don’t dress it up as saving my soul
You’re not my prophet
You don’t speak for me
You don’t get to write my role
[Chorus]
It bites my ass I’m not allowed
The chance to make you happy now
Or find a different way to love you
Than you have ever even known
You tell me what I feel
Then run
You slam the door and say we’re done
But you don’t get to say you know me
Then tell me I should go be gone
[Outro]
You do you
I’ll do me
But let me choose
Who I could be
