Settle

Written during freshman year.

So I heard about your new girl,
heard it’s only been a day or two.
But is she beautiful?
Would you sacrifice the world for her?

So you have your flaws,
and I have mine
You struggle to be liked,
I waste my time.

But if you asked me today
why you’re so unhappy,
why you’re so out of love,
well I know your way.
You don’t follow your own choice,
who am I to think that would change?

You’re a conformist,
but you don’t mean it.
You don’t mean to let your will go
just to pleasure your own peers
So listen here,
because deep down you are
the best friend you’ll never be.
I’ll stick around for you,
will you stick around for me?

She’s already more than I was,
well at least your friends approved.
If it weren’t for their voices,
would it be perfect for you?

Well, beauty comes easily
when you settle for a w***e.
You could have so much more,
but that what friends are for.

So you ask me today
why you’re unhappy,
why you’re so out of love,
well I know your way.
You never followed your own choice,
I was dumb just to think you would change.

You’re a conformist,
but you don’t mean it.
You don’t mean to let your will go
just to pleasure your own peers
So listen here,
because deep down you are
the best friend you’ll never be.
I’ll stick around for you,
will you stick around for me?

I miss the one you used to be,
the person that you really are.
I hate the way you’re changing,
but I’ve already accepted
who you will become.
