Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Common ground
I'm finding it hard to find
When you cut me down
To nothing but a dottedline

[Pre-Chorus]
Putme way upon the highest shelf
Like you're theonly one who can tell
Who I am, what I want
But you can't know me like I know myself

[Chorus]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards

[Verse 2]
Time I've lost
Tying myself up in knots
There's a heavy cost
To letting someone else call the shots

[Pre-Chorus]
Read the disappointment on my face
'Cause you never give more than you take
Are you scared of the thought
That what you wanted isn't what you got?

[Chorus]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards

[Bridge]
Mmm, mmm
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards
Bend over backwards (Ah)

[Chorus]
I can compromise
I'm willing to try
I'll put in the work
But I won't bend over backwards (Ah)
I can be polite
Not say what's on my mind
Even if it hurts
But I won't bend over backwards (Ah)
Bend over backwards
