Contention
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.
Watch your expectations crumble
I hear the things
Are the same things you never
Never knew
That you never wanted
I take those things with me to sleep
I'm not the one you want
There is no time
I don't think I can
How hard can you push on me
And how can I act differently
Without making this something more
Than I would want to put up with
I won't let a heartbreak happen
I can see the harm
I had a net for August
It's safe, let's not slow it down
We won't wear it out
We time-travel
I'm not the one you want
There is no time
I don't think I can
How hard can you push on me
And how can I act differently
Without making this something more
Than I would want to put up with
I'm not the one you want
There is no time
I don't think I can
How hard can you push on me
And how differently can I be
Without making this something more
Than I would want to put up with
How hard can you push on me
And how indifferent can I be
Without making this something more
Than I would want to put up with
