It’s hard to date a partner

Do you say

Do you say Oh yeah Yeah

You say, you say just be

honest But flinch when I am

You want wildflowers But water your

plants

You say,

take it slowly Then ask for

a ring

You talk about freedom While tracking

my screen

I keep folding into shapes you

can't even name Is this love

or a test I'm too tired

to take?

It's hard to date a partner

When you still want a savior

When you ask me to be

steady Then punish my behavior You

say you want an equal But

reach for a father,

a martyr I'm right here,

just me,

just human And it's hard to

date a partner Mmm,

mmm It's hard to date a

partner Mmm,

mmm

You quote all the partners And

follow the hearts Then throw every

buzzword You let all the darts

You want deep connection But guard

your past You hand me your

chaos And call it I keep

learning every rule As you change

the game Is this care?

Is this control?

Or are we both afraid?

It's hard to date a partner

When you still want a savior

When you ask me to be

steady Then punish my behavior You

say you want an equal But

reach for a father,

a martyr I'm right here,

just me,

just human And it's hard to

date a partner

Mmm, mmm

It's hard to date a partner

Mmm, mmm What if we stop

pretending that either of us is

fixed? Call out the stories we

copy, the ones that never fit

Can we sit in the middle,

not teacher,

not kid?

Just two shaky people tryna learn

how to give 'Cause it's,

mmm It's hard to date a

partner When you're scared to be

seen But I don't need a

perfect hero You don't need to

rescue me If we can love

as equals Drop the script,

go farther Maybe then it gets

easier It gets easier to partner

Yeah

Maybe then it gets easier to

partner

Easier to partner
