Bend Over Backwards

Common ground
I’m finding it hard to find
When you cut me down
To nothing but a dotted line
Put me way up on the highest shelf
Like you’re the only one who can tell
Who I am, what I want
But you can’t know me like I know myself
I can compromise
I’m willing to try
I’ll put in the work
But I won’t bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what’s on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won’t bend over backwards
Bend over backwards
Time I’ve lost
Tying myself up in knots
There’s a heavy cost
To letting someone else call the shots
Read the disappointment on my face
'Cause you never give more than you take
Are you scared of the thought
That what you wanted isn’t what you got?
I can compromise
I’m willing to try
I’ll put in the work
But I won’t bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what’s on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won’t bend over backwards
Bend over backwards
Mmm, mmm
I can compromise
I’m willing to try
I’ll put in the work
But I won’t bend over backwards
Bend over backwards (Ah)
I can compromise
I’m willing to try
I’ll put in the work
But I won’t bend over backwards (Ah)
I can be polite
Not say what’s on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won’t bend over backwards (Ah)
Bend over backwards
