Safer Place

I've been thinking
I'm not happy where I'm at
And if you wanna lie
And bat your eyes
Settle down and compromise
Go on with that

But you can't make me want it for myself
And you can't have me and play with someone else
And I can't make you want to change your mind
Even though I've tried
But

I'm going to a safer place where
You can't be both here and there
You gotta pick it
You know you can't live it both ways

Throwing away what's holdin me back
Can't have both this and that
You gotta pick it
You know
You can't live it both ways

Go ahead and live it both ways
And see how long I stay
And live it both ways

I've been thinking
Trouble follows wherе you go
It's remarkable how words are thrown
Whеn you're all alone
It only shows you're not grown

And you can't make me want to take your side
When all you want is to feel justified
And you can't make me want to change my mind
Even though you've tried
But

I'm going to a safer place where
You can't be both here and there
You gotta pick it
You know you can't live it both ways

Throwing away what's holdin me back
Can't have both this and that
You gotta pick it
You know
You can't live it both ways

Go ahead and live it both ways
And see how long I stay
And live it both ways

Sugar coated every damn reply
I needed you , you took your time
And fed me dreams with sweet appeal
Turned your monsters into butterflies
You crossed your heart I closed my eyes
And jumped with hopes a net would appear
Trying to shake the fear
Of u not being here
But

I'm going to a safer place where
You can't be both here and there
You gotta pick it
You know you can't live it both ways

Throwing away what's holdin me back
Can't have both this and that
You gotta pick it
You know
You can't live it both ways

I'm going to a safer place where
You can't be both here and there
You gotta pick it
You know you can't live it both ways

Throwing away what's holdin me back
Can't have both this and that
You gotta pick it
You know
You can't live it both ways

Go ahead and live it both ways
And see how long I stay
And live it both ways
