You don't know the time The hours I spend being kind What you get away with When you are the favorite I smooth the edges out Before you enter any room I carry all the fallout So no one lays it onto you You never see the weight Because I learned to make it light I take the bitter ending And tell you everything's alright You call it being easy I call it biting back the truth You only know my patience You don't know what it puts me through [Pre-Chorus] And every time you fall apart You know exactly where to come I hold the pieces in my hands While you forget what you have done [Chorus] 'Cause you're the kind of beast who feeds on Love and attention While I got so much tension 'Cause I'm the one who gives you peace You take until there's nothing left You wonder why I keep my distance Then question my resistance 'Cause I'm the one who feeds you peace [Post-Chorus] I give you peace I give you peace But who gives any back to me? I'm really happy for you But my life is so much harder than yours I mean Have you ever done something just for someone else? Do you even know what that means? You always find a reason Why the world should let you through And somehow every consequence Belongs to someone else but you [Pre-Chorus] And every time you need a heart You know exactly where to start You take the softest part of me Then leave before it falls apart [Chorus] 'Cause you're the kind of beast who feeds on Love and attention While I got so much tension 'Cause I'm the one who gives you peace You take until there's nothing left You wonder why I keep my distance Then question my resistance 'Cause I'm the one who feeds you peace [Bridge] Maybe I was taught too young That love means keeping everyone Maybe I confused being needed With being loved by anyone [Final Chorus] 'Cause you're the kind of beast who feeds on Love and attention While I got so much tension 'Cause I'm the one who gives you peace You take until there's nothing left You wonder why I keep my distance Then question my resistance 'Cause I'm the one who feeds you peace [Final Refrain, Lead vocal remains central, richer guitars and piano, cymbal lift, tasteful emotional ad-libs between lines] You're the kind who feeds on Love and attention And I am done with the tension I won't keep holding everything You can sit with what you started You can feel the weight you handed me I spent so long making you feel safe Now I need a little room to breathe [Outro] I gave you peace I pulled you through Now leave a little space for me [End]
