Lyrics

Bitch, you can go to hell
Respectfully
Mmm
(Bitch, you can go to hell)
Mmm, babe
I get the "tada" when it's time to go to sleep
I'm sick and tired of you breadcrumbing me
I'm picking up the leftovers
While everybody else gets champagne
You tell me, "Baby, don't overthink"
You know I pay attention to every fucking thing
Love ain't supposed to feel like waiting
No begging just to fit your plans, mmm
I'm tired of clapping for the little things (Things)
Like consistency's a luxury (Oh)
You call it love, I call it crumbs
And baby, crumbs don't feed me
I'm done celebrating the bare minimum
A good morning video is the most time I get
I'm sorry, baby, half the fights don't erase all the distance
You say you love me, but your actions never listen
I deserve somebody choosing me every time
Not whenever it's convenient or you finally find the time
You keep giving me enough so I won't leave
But not enough to make me believe
I'm done living off the bare minimum
You know my favorite color, favorite song
But somehow never know when I'm breaking
I keep making room inside my heart
For somebody who's always escaping
I'm your peace when life gets loud
But when I need you, where you at?
Love shouldn't feel one-sided
Like I'm always carrying us on my back
You say I'm trying every single time
But effort without change is just another lie
I kept lowering my standards for your comfort
Now I'm finally raising mine
I'm done celebrating the bare minimum
Cancelled dates ain't making me feel significant
Your words sound sweet, but your love feels limited
I'm tired of pretending that this ain't different
I deserve somebody choosing me every time
Not squeezing me between everybody else's life
You keep giving me enough so I won't leave
But not enough to make me believe
I'm done living off the bare
Another "I'm sorry," another empty promise
Another lonely night while you swear I'm your favorite
If loving me feels like a chore to you
Then losing me can be your consequence too
Somebody else is praying for a woman like me
Why you treating me like I'm optional?
Baby, that's impossible
No more settling for the bare minimum
I need a woman who loves me without conditions
Who makes me feel like home, not an obligation
Who chooses me without hesitation
'Cause I know my worth now, I finally see
Real love doesn't have to convince me
If I'm asking for the basics and it feels too hard
Then you never deserved my heart
I don't want almost
I don't want "I don't want when I get time"
I don't want leftovers
I want a love that feels like mine
And until she comes
I'd rather sleep alone
Than keep calling the bare minimum
Love, love
Love
Love
