Compromise
Abandoned By Bears Lyrics

You're taking me for granted
You're not valuing me and my feelings enough in this relationship.

Can you agree to compromise?
Can we work together and find a solution that works for both of us?

Cause I've wanted this for so long
I have desired this for a significant amount of time.

And my mind keeps telling why
I keep thinking about why I want this so badly.

Am I making you nervous, you may not deserve this
I may be making you uneasy and unsure, but you may not deserve my love and commitment.

But it's time for me to be honest
I need to be truthful about my thoughts and feelings.

And make up my mind
I need to decide what I truly want and stick with it.

When the situation changed, you never stayed the same
When things became difficult, you didn't remain loyal or consistent.

By now I've learned to cope with what this means for me
I have learned how to handle the consequences of your actions and choices.

And the last words you said still echoes through my head
Your final words to me continue to have an impact on me.

Just let me be
Please grant me the space and freedom to move on and heal.

Even though I left it all behind
Although I have already let go of everything related to you and our relationship,

It still haunts me 'til this day
The memories and pain still linger and affect me.

You kept on telling me that the grass is greener on the other side
You repeatedly convinced me that there was something better outside of our relationship.

But where is the fine line?
Where is the point where chasing after something better becomes unhealthy and damaging?

Have I crossed it one too many times?
Have I gone too far in trying to find something better and lost sight of what was truly important?

And I'm moving on beyond your dagger
I am moving past the painful attacks and cuts you inflicted upon me.

My well-being doesn't seem to matter
You don't seem to care about my emotional state or how your actions affect me.

And when you throw your sticks and stones
When you insult and hurt me with your words and actions,

You're weakening all my bones
You're breaking me down emotionally and mentally.

I guess I'm better off without you
I believe that I am better off on my own and away from this toxic relationship.

I grew tired of feeling pointless and restless
I became exhausted from feeling purposeless and constantly uneasy in our relationship.

I left myself behind to find some peace of mind
I had to move on and prioritize my own mental and emotional health.

It doesn't matter what you're ready for
Your readiness or willingness to change doesn't affect my decision to move on.

Cause I won't take it anymore
I am no longer willing to tolerate the pain and toxicity of our relationship.
