Lyrics
Placeholder
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.
Stop
With the implication you ever intended
To have me as more than a fixture
Just let it go
All forms of communication: A catering
Positive forms of interaction: A savoring
Yes is the answer if the question is
Asking if I can become the placeholder
After you cast me aside I doubt any longer
My reaction would be to abide
What to do now that your patience
Is running against the clock?
I can't conceive a situation
Where you aren't fed up with something
Something's gotta give, but it won't be me
I'll be here
I will be here
I will be here
I will be here
I will be here
With an outstretched hand
You know there's no implication
With me
Why oh why did you give me the green light
To take what I wanted
Consent in the technical sense
I know why
I know why
I know why I can't help you decide
Help me decide
Help me decide
Tell me why I can't help you decide
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why you can't help me decide
Help me decide
Help me decide
Tell me why I can't help you decide
