Insist

(I thought)
I had the muscle to ignore this
I've never been a fan of courtship
(And I)
I only really want the bad bits
(So I)
Hope you'll forgive me when I say this
(I thought)
I had the stomach to absorb this
(And I)
Won't interrupt you while you're talking
(It's just)
Sometimes my feelings are exhausting
And if I had a choice I'd never get like this
But I just wish you'd say "No, I insist"
I'm gonna need you to ask for all of it
But if you don't I'll say "No, no, I insi-uh"

I'm not sure what I'm doing
Here
But I want more than all this crushing
Fear
And I'm not sure I can go on like this
But if you go I'll say "No, I insist"

I've got a brain that works against me
(But I can)
Leave it behind whenever we meet
(Because I'm)
Perfectly happy just pretending
(That I'm)
Fine knowing I might never be missed
And here's the part where you say "No, I insist"
(I insist)

I'm not sure what I mean to
You
Because nothing shuts you up like the
Truth
And I don't think you wanted any of
This
If you go I'll say "No, I insist"
(I'll say "No, I insist")

And I'm not sure what I'm doing here
But if you insist I'll stay put out of fear
