Tired of the Fight

from Sweet Degenerate by Jordan Popky

lyrics

Talk like I’m not in the room
You’re surprised that I can’t split myself in two
Problem and the confidante
I don’t get to choose

Relegate me to a pattern
Write questions that fit your answers

Tired of the fight
I don’t know why I try
Because you’re always right
I’m not gonna change your mind

Talking back is walking through a wall
Bending over backwards does nothing at all
Beg you to say you want to stay
But you can only stall

Inundate me with observations
Erase your blame through explanations

Tired of the fight
I don’t know why I try
Because you’re always right
I’m not gonna change your mind

Yet here I am protecting
I’m covering it up
Smile like syllables
Of your name don’t leave cuts in my mouth
I wanted work this out

Now I’m tired of the fight
I don’t know why I try…

Tired of the fight
I don’t know why I try
Because you’re always right
I’m not gonna change your mind
