Pulling Away

[Verse 1]
As I weigh the pros and cons of this relation
They come to you with a lesson, do pay attention
Daily she comes up with stupid excuses
Never paid a heed until they made her feel useless

[Chorus]
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me

[Verse 2]
I'm just a girl with a world full of hope
Been a while, almost chose the rope
But something spoke to me
I became my own enemy
I've been busy swimming in a pool of frenemies
Thеir envy feeding my infamy
No point trying to make them bеlieve me
No they won't believe me
No they won't believe me
Oh come on, you said I'm your queen
Treated me like a pawn
Now fine lines have been drawn
Got me waking up at dawn
'Cause sleep has left me to right my wrongs
And as I go by the day
Not knowing where I belong
Can't recall who I used to be
The girl is long gone
While I take in the compliments
I'm well aware it's only for the moment
So why you pricking my consciousness?
"Cause those who can't do, only comment"
I'm pulling away

[Chorus]
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me

[Verse 3]
Still breathing still good
This time holding on caused more damage than it should
This time I'm headstrong
Letting go of my pride
You say your love's bonafide
I say my word is my truth
Often love and hate coincide
Still cautious but cool when it comes to loving
Still cater to those who need my help with something
I mean still wondering what I'm on this earth for
Until I find my purpose I would even die for
I know though all I ever wanted took longer than I thought
Just a case ill fated, now sick and tired of waiting
Purposely removing myself from a situation no longer serving my growth, you feel me?

[Chorus]
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me
(I'm pulling away)
I can take your honesty
But baby if you bother me

[Verse 4]
On a high note, I'ma wrap this up
Maybe this time I'll learn to trust my gut
I can be fun but don't talk too much
Take a trip with me as we explore hotel rooms to new tunes and find other things that we can
As we paint the sky with different kinds of blue
I wanna know what it's like to be you
Yeah, everyday is brand new

[Outro]
Pulling away, pulling away
Pulling away
Don't bother me
I said, baby don't bother me
Pulling away, pulling away
