Lyrics

If I ask for what I need
You brace like I'm throwing punches
Say I'm making it heavy
When I'm just naming the bruises
If I bite my tongue and breathe
I'm "cold" and hard to read
Funny how silence becomes a crime
When it's me choosing peace
I tried calm
I tried kind
I tried swallowing every damn line
But you don't hear me either way
Just decide I'm in the wrong before I say
It's a catch twenty-two
If I speak I lose you
If I don't I'm accused
Of being difficult too
You can joke, you can laugh
I'm supposed to play along
But when I crack from the weight
Suddenly I'm the problem
Yeah I can't win
No I can't move
Every road dead-ends back to you
It's a catch twenty-two
So I get sharp, get sarcastic
Yeah I know it's not my best
But I'm waving flares in the dark
Just to see if you'll turn your head
I'm not trying to start a war
I'm trying to feel like I matter
But the more I reach for you
The more you climb the ladder
You say "why are you like this"
Like it came out of thin air
But frustration doesn't fall from the sky
It grows where nobody cares
It's a catch twenty-two
If I speak I lose you
If I don't I'm accused
Of being difficult too
You get humor, I get rules
You get grace, I get proof
That no matter how I show up
I'm still wrong to you
Yeah I can't win
No I can't choose
Every answer's already used
It's a catch twenty-two
I don't want attention
I want connection
There's a difference you refuse to see
I'm not asking to be saved
Just met halfway
Instead of labeled the enemy
It's a catch twenty-two
Tell the truth, pay the dues
Stay quiet, still lose
There's no version of me that gets through
So I'm done bending shapes
Just to fit your mood
If I'm wrong either way
I'll be wrong choosing me over you
Yeah I can't win
So I'll move
Out of this damn catch twenty-two
