Budge

Why's it so difficult to get you to budge?
Even the slightest change takes more than a nudge
And all this debating is really frustrating
What would it take for me to open your eyes?
Can't you just settle for a good compromise?
Can any laws govern when you're so damn stubborn?
I'm not lying, it's almost impossible to change your view
I'm done trying, I don't want to argue

All I need is some flexibility
Why can't you treat me with civility?
Why do you do this to me? Big or small
All we do is disagree
'Cause you will not budge at all

I'm getting desperate, can't you meet me halfway?
I'm starting to run out of things I can say
So stop being headstrong, 'cause frankly you're dead wrong
You're so resistant once you've made up your mind
You can't see reason 'cause you're willfully blind
This negotiating is so irritating
I'm not lying, it's almost impossible to change your view
I'm done trying, I don't want to argue

All I need is some flexibility
Why can't you treat me with civility?
Why do you do this to me? Big or small
All we do is disagree
'Cause you will not budge at all

We fight and we fight and we never convene
'Cause you like to be right and it's hard to argue
Night after night, it's the same old routine
And the light gets too bright once I start to spark you up
I don't wanna do this anymore
There's no way to win this endless war
This is just like talking to a wall
'Cause you will not budge at all

All I need is some flexibility
Why can't you treat me with civility?
(And I gotta know)
Why do you do this to me? Big or small
All we do is disagree
'Cause you will not budge at all
