Bend Over Backwards

[Verse 1]

Common ground

I'm finding it hard to find

When you cut me down

To nothing but a dotted line

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Time I've lost

Tying myself up in knots

There's a heavy cost

To letting someone else call the shots

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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)

[Chorus]

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
