No One Says You Have To

No One Says You Have To (没人会强迫你) - Kevin Devine

I can't say I'm underrated

I can't say it so

I can't say I'm underrated

I know I know I know

She says watch your ego baby

She says take it slow

She says that's a bad look honey

I know I know I know

It gets so lonely inside my mind

I'm surrounded in love all the time

I get stuck in simple phrases

Complicate straight lines

If there's a knot that don't need tying

I try I try I try

She's no font of Christ like patience

And neither sir am I

But she's honest in her imperfections

I try I try I try

It just gets scary inside my mind

I turn straw men to monsters

And line their mouths with knives

I say I can't race forever

Can't raise the rock so high

She says no one says you have to

Let go and take your time

It gets distorted inside my mind

Isolation disconnection

Another person's life

I say I can't race forever

Can't raise the rock so high

She says no one says you have to

Let go and take your time

Let go and take your time

Let go and take your time
