NORMAL (THE BRIEF)

Don't get too close to me I was a baby when I bought the dream they sold to me I'm 27 and now I'm devoted hopelessly I'm really focused on being this person I feel like I'm supposed to be So my priorities were move to Jozi And make some sense of it And even though I'm really sensitive Discomfort is who I actually came to start a friendship with Nobody else I mean, I came here with nobody else Me and myself But I'm here I am now Sitting across you We're holding hands, we're falling in love I should've stopped you 'Cause now I'm just remembering the brief And how I'm better off alone But you gave me the sweetest and softest kiss I've ever known And suddenly life seems normal When you're not doing it alone And we decided we want this And maybe this could be our home A work in progress Something that I've bee building on my own And it's not done but Make yourself at home, yeah It's not that I didn't need it It's just that I didn't need it right now I started feeling depleted And I couldn't be who you needed right now It's not that I didn't need it It's just that I didn't need it I started feeling depleted Baby you found yourself passionate man The only problem is this passion he has? Also makes him a workaholic and it's Really hard to stop it once you've started Especially now that you've gotta try and double what's in your wallet But that's not a problem Just means more time at the office More focus on profits Less time for distra- But if me working after 5 makes you doubt my attraction Then I don't know what to tell you 'cause I don't understand it I started doing it for us so we don't have to panic And yeah it's dramatic I changed the brief up pretty quick 'cause I had to accept it But people-pleasing left my feelings neglected And over time it start building resentment But see the plan was spend my life with you But I had to let go of us Just to remind myself what I can do And I know that didn't sit right with you Had you feeling like the carpet was pulled from under you I'm really sorry but It's not that I didn't need it It's just that I didn't need it right now I started feeling depleted And I couldn't be who you needed right now It's not that I didn't need it It's just that I didn't need it I started feeling depleted And I couldn't be who you needed It's not that I didn't
