Something Better

How many times have you heard a wish a day is gon' work?
Want with all that is in you, patience is a virtue
And eventually those good things surely will come

But I'm sick of sitting, waiting, wishing
Done with being treated like shit, feeling strung
Out on ones that do not deserve my love and attention
This state of suspension I'm caught up in
Tossed from web to web
When you should be the one
Sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting on me

Give me some satisfaction
Waiting on the universe to bring a little bit of traction
Just a tiny taste for now, doesn't have to be forever
Just something that is better than this

Crossed off of your list
I'm not here to feed your ego and directly be dismissed
I've had it for now, this is me signing out
I'll emerge when ensured that I'm gonna get the treatment I deserve

I suppose I am somewhat to blame
For playing part in this game
With no winners or losers, just emotional abusers
And victims left in their wake
Oh, take, take, take
With no intention of repairing what you break
With an unjustifiably inflated self-confidence
What gives you the right to live your life at my expense?

Oh, not again
I'm generating my self-worth from within
A step a should have taken many moons ago
No one should set their sights so low, but now I know that

I've earned some satisfaction
Waiting on the universe to bring a little bit of traction
Just a tiny taste for now, doesn't have to be forever
Just something that is better than this

Crossed off of your list
I'm not here to feed your ego and directly be dismissed
I've had it for now, this is me signing out
I'll emerge when ensured that I'm gonna get the treatment I deserve

No more tallying up the times I've been shit out of luck
No more passivity, I'm going to stand up for me
No illusory, transient, little romance will do, no
But I'll remain convinced that somewhere love does exist
And when a brighter path reveals itself I'll seek

Some satisfaction
Waiting on the universe to bring a little bit of traction
Just a tiny taste for now, doesn't have to be forever
Just something that is better than this

Ooh, crossed off of your list
I'm not here to feed your ego and directly be dismissed
I've had it for now, this is me signing out
I'll emerge when ensured that I'm gonna get the treatment I deserve
