For Me

Turn Burn in the cut

It's right for me to erase what was right
The way you live got too close to decide
Love for me is never love on ice
Decide the way you got to say you tried

I'm not trying to be one that makes you deliver the bad news
I'm not trying to be one that makes the news seem less about you
Whatever's good for me gets fun for you too
Whatever's first to correct you bets the wrong view

Would you rather choose one of two extremes
Or stay somewhere in between?
Would you rather prove that you're the one
Or that you could leave in peace?
I can't deny you're oh, so sweet, you're oh, so sweet, oh

I wouldn't have you thinking that my hands are tied
So the conversation isn't worth it this time
I'd imagine how you'd look for me would compromise
You're timing riding up the perfect incline

I'm not sure you'd be the one to take the lead
Sorry you wouldn't see if it weren't for me
Looking at you looking for me is all we'd see
Looking at you looking for me is all I need

It's working just to pay the price, what's it to you?
Extremes that keep us talking don't use you to prove what to prove
I'd see sacrifices always coming through and through the truth
You only lose to lose what you used to use

I'm not trying to speak about the sacrifices that we knew
I wouldn't know the meaning that you made move
I wouldn't know to make a move before I knew the truth
We hang back over the trap that came too soon

I would rather you know you do what you please
While I would watch you roam free
I would rather you do what I say
Not what I do that keeps the peace
I can't deny you're oh, so sweet, you're oh, so sweet, oh

I wouldn't have you thinking that my hands are tied
So the conversation isn't worth it this time
I'd imagine how you'd look for me would compromise
You're timing riding up the perfect incline

I'm not sure you'd be the one to take the lead
Sorry you wouldn't see if it weren't for me
Looking at you looking for me is all we'd see
Looking at you looking for me is all I need
