Compassion

I used to think it was compassion
Now I've realized it's self hate
And now I'm lovin myself
So I'd really appreciate it
If you'd delete my number
I don't want another date
You're not the man I'm looking for
This thing between us isn't fate

'cuz I loved you in the best ways I knew how
But now I'm realizing all the those ways they kept me from myself
And now I'm lovin me in the best way that I can
And that means there's no space for you ...
I don't need your kind of man

You'd go from telling me that you need me
to tellin me you needed space
You'd apologize for hurting me
And then ignore me to my face
And now I'm whip lashed from riding
The roller coaster of your embrace
I'm tired of feeling compromised
Gotta give myself my time and grace

'cuz I loved you in the best ways I knew how
But now I'm realizing all the those ways they kept me from myself
And now I'm lovin me in the best way that I can
And that means there's no space for you ...
I don't need your kind of man

And I know,
that another time and place we could have made it
So I tried to push and force cause I could take it
But I don't want a kind of love that feels like fakin
So i'm sayin... to myself
so i remember ...

I loved you in the best ways I knew how
And now I'm realizing all the those ways they kept me from myself
And now I'm l lovin me in the best way that I can
And that means there's no space for you ...
no I don't need your kind of man
