Lyrics

Bent 4 U

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're unsure and you're not ready

So that must mean I want you

You're unavailable and disinterested

And to you I look for comfort

A million times in a million ways

I will try to change you

A million months and a million days

I'll try to somehow convince you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you

And I'm done

I have deferred to you and enabled you

And I'm done

You're too young or you're too old

Or you're simply not inclined

You're asleep or you're withholding

Be that my cue to crave you

Several times in several ways

I'll try to squeeze love from you

Several hours and several ways

I'll feast on scraps thrown from you

I have bent for you and I've deprived for you

And I'm done

I have depressed for you and contorted for you

And I'm done

I have stifled for you and I've compromised for you

And I'm done

I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you

And I'm done

It won't be long before I am reclaimed

It won't take long and I'll be on path again

It won't be easy for us to disengage

I'm at the end of self deprivation stage

You're afraid of every woman

Afraid of your inner workings

You cringe at the thought of living

Under the same roof as me

God and everything

A million times and a million ways

I've tried to alter to match you

Several times every several days

I've tried to uncrush on you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you

And I'm done

I have deferred to you and enabled you

And I'm done

I have bent for you and I've deprived for you

And I'm done

I have depressed for you and contorted for you

And I'm done
