If You’ll Have Me

[Verse]
I never knew that one could stand tallest when brought to their knees
They know that they’re stronger
Know of the power of words held behind grinding teeth
Why do I look up to the lips shouting loud sweet nothings saying everything I’d expect
Why the safety of my head, why the ignorant bliss
When I know that bliss is the last thing I can call it
Two parts sinful to compensate
How can I pull away pull away when

[Chorus]
She’s shot down, another one’s fussing
It’s just the way it goes
Hands up but eyes catch focus
There’s things that matter more
Truly I’ll try to be here now
My shadow at the door
If you’ll have me

[Verse]
I never knew that one could stand tallest when brought to their knees
They blossom in whisper
Cradle each misstep along small victories
With each gaze in the mirror thinking no one’s looking, she breathes a sigh of relief
For even in suffering, she’s the only one who sees
Why should I count my unlucky stars out in public
Force everyone to think
“Look how good she can be”
Say you feel for me
When i’m-

[Chorus]
Shot down another one’s fussing
That’s just the way it goes
Hands up but eyes catch focus
On things that matter more
Truly I’ll try to be here now
My shadow at the door if you’ll have me
Ms. Instant gratification, this mouth can run for miles
Simply has to show the world just how happy I am not
Two corners of the earth meeting to teach one to unfold
Don’t let me be

[Bridge]
Here’s your symptom of growing up
Let your mind fill, prideful, not enough
Take your paycheck, stay yet unfulfilled
Overshare your hurt til hurt’s all you feel
Here’s your symptom of growing up
Let your mind fill, prideful, not enough
Take your paycheck, stay yet unfulfilled
Overshare your hurt til hurt’s all you feel
Here’s your symptom of growing up
Let your mind fill prideful not enough

[Chorus]
Shot down, another one’s fussing
It’s just the way it goes
Hands up but eyes catch focus
There’s things that matter more
Truly I’ll try to be here now
My shadow at the door
Don’t let me
She’s shot down, another one’s fussing
It’s just the way it goes
Hands up but eyes catch focus
There’s things that matter more
Truly I’ll try to be here now
My shadow at the door
If you’ll have me
If you’ll have me
Don’t let me
