Safer Place

I've been thinking I'm not happy where I'm at And if you wanna lie and bat your eyes Settle down and compromise Go on with that But you can't make me want it for myself And you can't have me and play with someone else And I can't make you want to change your mind Even though I've tried, but I'm going to a safer place where You can't be both here and there You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Throwing away what's holding me back Can't have both this and that You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Go ahead and live it both ways And see how long I stay And live it both ways I've been thinking Trouble follows where you go It's remarkable how words are thrown When you're all alone It only shows you're not grown And you can't make me want to take your side When all you want is to feel justified And you can't make me want to change my mind Even though you've tried, but I'm going to a safer place where You can't be both here and there You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Throwing away what's holding me back Can't have both this and that You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Go ahead and live it both ways And see how long I stay And live it both ways Sugar coated every damn reply I needed you, you took your time And fed me dreams with sweet appeal Turned your monsters into butterflies You crossed your heart, I closed my eyes And jumped with hopes a net would appear Trying to shake the fear Of you not being here, but I'm going to a safer place where You can't be both here and there You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Throwing away what's holding me back Can't have both this and that You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways I'm going to a safer place where You can't be both here and there You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Throwing away what's holding me back Can't have both this and that You gotta pick it, you know You can't live it both ways Go ahead and live it both ways And see how long I stay And live it both ways And see how long I stay
