Brittany Bookout - more than a lyric Lyrics

I'm usually so misunderstood
Feel defeated every time
I've tried
I stay bottled up
Don't give in too much
Fight my battles
On my own at night
Everybody's interested
When I keep my distance
I swore I'd never love again
But with you it feels different
Want you to be
More than a lyric
Not just a phrase that I
Put in a song
To describe what I'm feeling
A secret I clothe in a word metaphor
That I don't want to deal with
Don't want to hide from reality
Under a melody
I wish you were hearing
Oh I'm begging
I'm praying I don't treat you like a lyric
Cause I have a tendency
To make everyone
The subtle ways that you
Keep me safe I'm already
Yours in my head
How you
Never let go when I
Push away
You give what it takes
To bring me back
This time around
It's hard for me to keep my distance
You're feeling like solid ground
So I'm not scared of commitment
Want you to be
More than a lyric
Not just a phrase that I
Put in a song
To describe what I'm feeling
A secret I clothe in a word metaphor
That I don't want to deal with
Don't want to hide from reality
Under a melody
I wish you were hearing
Oh I'm begging
I'm praying I don't treat you like a lyric
Cause I have a tendency
To make everyone a lyric
Oh
If it's you if it's you if it's you
I don't want to pretend
Cause if it's you if it's you if it's you
I never want it to end
