Kindness – Something Like A War lyrics

[Verse 1]
Moonstruck, anticipated you being the one
Nefarious enigma, no signals popped up
Our connection was instant, we clickin' for starters
Had to be how the planets and stars was lined up
Going real strong for like a couple of months
No hint of no drama, inseparable was us
'Til it was insinuated I wasn't enough
Mood switched up, to the gaslighting stuff

[Verse 2]
Then it started, I mean the games
The blame, derogatory names I'm drained
The narcissist in 'em I couldn't tame
Attempted to tackle, scrabble the brain
Tried to turn blind eyed with excuses it got strange

[Bridge]
I'm sick of pretending like I don't see, but I see
Time to expose the manipulative layers of deceit
Parasitic co-dependency loopin' auto repeat
Anguish ain't missing a beat, seeking some kinda relief

[Verse 3]
So compelled to retreat now
Take the focus off us, put it on me now
Conducive to my survival to be out
Enough of the psychological beatdowns
Healthy selfies in wellness, I'm on that
Know my worth it's no accident, I'm an asset
Aware of thee energies that I transmit
Apparently an accent to something you haven't had yet

[Verse 4]
Confident assurance of self will never ignore
Standards I adhere to 'cause I value me more
Allow whatever strength within me fill up any voids
In unions blindly entered lacking balance and support
Desire when mutual is endorsed
Respect is given if it's enforced
To prove untrustworthy at any cost
It's the kinda connection I can't afford

[Refrain]
You and I done expired
Sever ties break the bond
They do not coincide
To supply no new lies

[Outro]
(Yeah)
(Ooh yeah)
(I bet on doing my thing)
(Yeah)
