"Bent 4 U" lyrics
"Bent 4 U"
You're unsure and you're not ready
So that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested
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 convince you
I have waited for you
And adjusted for you
And I am done
I have deferred to you
And enabled you
And I am 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 am done
I have depressed for you
And contorted for you
And I am done
I have stifled for you
And I've compromised for you
And I am done
I have silenced for you
And sacrificed for you
And I am done
It won't be long before I am reclaimed and
It won't take long and I'll be on path again
It won't be easy for us to disengage and
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 am done
I have deferred to you
And enabled you
And I am done
I have bent for you
And I've deprived for you
And I am done
I have depressed for you
And contorted for you
And I am done

Garbage - "Bleed Like Me" Avalanche is sullen and too thin
She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin

Sheryl Crow - "Strong Enough" God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

So let me be alone...

From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
