Compensation

This is not love
This is not protection
This is your compensation
For affection
You gave up
At your own discretion
And I guess that I need to know
If it was that forever

I hope you're miserable
I hope it builds inside and you feel it all
Take space for what's missing, and fill the wall
You boarded up to not see me at all

Too many nights spent longing
Realizing I never belonged
I'd do so much
And it all came to bust
Move through hell and readjust
But it all just turned worthless
(It's all worthless)

Maybe I need to realign
Look for the other signs
Not the basic but the finite
Details of the mind
And the heart, the hardest part to lose
Never a chance to choose
I'd give it all to you
But you'd throw me out that's all old news

Fuck you, I don't need you
I just need to regroup
Old texts that I read through
Help me finally see you
I see who you are
Who you were from the start
And now it's time to start
Go back to the first part
And try

Go ahead take your space
I guess you need it all
But if you ask me
I'd prefer if you didn't call
Don't say my name at all
