Holding You Back

They say that love is a foreign language
I guess you just aren't fluent

If you wanted to leave me
Believe me, you'd be gone by now
Try to lie to me, just to pry from me
What you want from underneath
But that just isn't how

How I work, how I win
How I run this thing
I'm really not that easy
We both know you don't see me
As what I can be
An evolution unseen
I'm so much more than you dare to dream

But you tell me I'm holding you back
From all this true potential
Telling me I couldn't even fathom
All that you could imagine
You tell me I'm holding you back
But you won't еver show
Any of this superior existеnce past the charade you fail to grow
So I'll let go
You tell me I'm holding you back
But there's so much about me you don't know
So I'll let go
So I'll let go

All the games that you're playing
Things that you claim, words paraphrased
I've read the book a billion times
You're no more than a cliche
And I gotta say
Why follow pre-made paths when you can make your own rewrites

How I work, how I win
To you it's alien
Maybe we'd have less questions
If you focused off of yourself and paid attention
And all that I am
Running worlds past your laps
I'm so much more than you'll ever see

But you tell me I'm holding you back
From all this true potential
Telling me I couldn't even fathom
All that you could imagine
You tell me I'm holding you back
But you won't ever show
Any of this superior existence past the charade you fail to grow
So I'll let go
You tell me I'm holding you back
But there's so much about me you don't know
So I'll let go
So I'll let go
So I'll let go
So I'll let go

And you know what?
I could use a partner in crime
But all you care about is yours
And that's your short-sighted brain cells all of the time
If you wanted to leave me
You'd have walked away
But you clearly want to stay
It's not my fault you're out of time with me
