Precious

How do we get out of this phase?
We both play our parts
And now you wanna play in my face
Let's go back to the start, mm
I gave you everything you needed
Even space, then you
Said you needed a couple months
Theld a place for you
You made me separate my feelings from the way you see me
It's too late to turn it around, well I

I can only pray I'm wrong
This time, time
Holding out the bait
Don't bite, bite, bite, bite

I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it, but
Don't make me
Please don't me precious, no
I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it, but
Don't make me
Please don't me precious, no

I know we gon' end up with the same deal
Messing with my heart
I kinda like the way the pain feels babe
Don't know when to stop, no

You win the game
So for the day you'll have your way with it
You're so persuasive
Always base it on the grey of it
It's just another way to put off the inevitable
Who's to blame if I entertain this?

I can only pray I'm wrong
This time, time
Holding out the bait
Don't bite, bite, bite, bite

I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it but
Don't make me
Please don't me precious, no
I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it, but
Don't make me
Please don't me precious, no

And when I feel you playing, I don't play, no

Don't play
Don't play
I dare you, dare, dare
Dare, dare you

I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it
But don't make me
Please don't me precious, no
I'm back, believing what you say
I might play into it
But don't make me
Please don't me precious

I think it's scary, less than intimidating
I think it's scary because like, l've always been a strong
"I don't need shit from anybody"
Hyper-independent type of person, um
But, like, I just don't feel like I can operate like that forever
