apologetic. - demo
In this time of media and prose
Everybody's tryna get you exposed
Tellin' you to sit down right before you say a thing
So I've been keepin' it down
Ain't nobody needs a confrontation
But every situation's got me
Dreadin' conversations
Now they're walkin' over me
Don't want no criticism (It's okay to admit you're scared)
Don't know is and isn't (No one's ever really prepared)
No harm in givin' a try
But you'll have to face the truth
There's really little else that you can do
Doesn't matter whether you win
God loves what you're doin'
You need to try a bit harder, to think a bit better
Or you'll waste your time just drownin' in emotion
I know you're scared of what they'll say
But think of it this way
The only way you'll shine
Is to show them your light
Backin' out before you try
Can I at least help you out this time?
There's no going forward
If you don't even take a chance
Is it humility
Or is it the reality
Of the tragedy of my lost and broken identity
It's not in how I come across
Or in the sound of your applause
A fool is someone who pretends
That she doesn't any flaws
'Cuz she draws her worth from an empty box
(You ain't thankful you were ready for a fight)
You think the easy life is a right, huh?
Go apologize and you'll compromise someone's life for a pretty lie
Why should I care (It's okay to admit you're scared)
If you feel good inside?
When ruin's waiting for you (No one's ever really prepared)
On the other line
Do you realize
All this making nice just won't suffice
Honey you were bought with a price, ooh
(Listen to me baby)
You need to try a bit harder, to think a bit better
Or you'll waste your time just drownin' in emotion
I know you're scared of what they'll say
But think of it this way
The only way you'll shine
Is to show them your light
You need to try a bit harder (I'll try, I'll try a little harder)
To think a bit better
Or you'll waste your time just
Drownin' in emotion (Nobody said it'd be easy darlin')
I know you're scared of what they'll say
But think of it this way
The only way you'll shine
Is to show them your light
Everybody's tryna get you exposed
Tellin' you to sit down right before you say a thing
So I've been keepin' it down
Ain't nobody needs a confrontation
But every situation's got me
Dreadin' conversations
Now they're walkin' over me
Don't want no criticism (It's okay to admit you're scared)
