Beggar Inside

Behind a face who says “stay”
No kind words were said that day
Maybe a lack of care with the things you’ve thought
Were in hands
Same mistakes repeated like
It was the first committing them

But then you know
That I can’t be
All you want
All the time
Everything I gave
Meant less for you
Sweetheart
And now you come straight to me
To get back what you got

You had me wrapped around your fingers
But was way far from your heart
Misunderstanding lack of feeling
Who sends me back to where I start
Were you thinking I’d be giving up?
No, not this time

Don’t treat people
Like they’re disposable
When you know
What keeps you unsafe is what
You daily try to contain
I was hoping things to change,
But change is not in my range

But then you know
That I can’t be
All you want
All the time
Everything I gave
Meant less for you,
Sweetheart
And now you come straight to me
To get back what you got

You had me wrapped around your fingers
But it was way far from your heart
Misunderstanding lack of feeling
Who sends me back to where I start
Were you thinking I’d be giving up?
Not at this time
