Bend Over Backwards

[Verse 1:]
Common ground
I'm finding it hard to find
When you cut me down
To nothing but a dotted line.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Put me way up on the highest shelf
Like you're the only one who can tell
Who I am, what I want
But you can't know me like I know myself.

[Chorus:]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards.

[Verse 2:]
Time I've lost
Tying myself up in knots
There's a heavy cost
To letting someone else call the shots.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Read the disappointment on my face
'Cause you never give more than you take
Are you scared of the thought
That what you wanted isn't what you got?

[Chorus:]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards.

[Bridge:]
Mmm, mmm
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards (Ah)

[Chorus:]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards (Ah)
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards (Ah)
Bend over backwards.
