[Lyric] This Way (Sydney Zarlengo)

You loved my spunk, except when you were tired
Adored my independence but only when you desired
You loved my voice, but only a handful of songs
Complimented my style, but only the things you felt belonged

These double standards leave me feeling lost and confused
I’m floating in between
I’m not me but I’m not you
Is this normal?
Is love just… being lost?
Oooh

You loved my honesty, except when it was about you
My intelligencе, but only when you were thе smarter of the two
You said you prefer me this way I said so did I
But my hair feels too straight, and these are clothes I despise

These double standards leave me feeling lost and confused
I’m floating in between
I’m not me but I’m not you
Is this normal?
Is love just… being lost?
Oooh
Then you left
And all I had was a piece of my spunk
The dream of independence
A portion of honesty
A morsel of intelligence
Just a handful of songs
Straight hair and
Clothes I didn’t care for
You left me with
Just a piece of me

But I learned without you
I built back up
Yeah, you confused me
But look who grew up
Yeah, you broke my heart
But hey
I owe you one

Your double standards left me feeling lost and confused
Was floating in between
Not me and not you
It wasn’t normal
Love isn’t… being lost
Oooh
Oohs

You liked me this way; but oh I don’t
Want me to change, but no I won’t
(repeat x3)
