Fair Match Songtext
von Mia Stegner

You call it tough love
But I see the boxing glove
Protect your hands
So my heart doesn′t bruise 'em

And I′m not wearing armor
It'd put us that much farther
I can't feel anything anyway
Without feeling

Everything
I think you know it′s not a fair match
Here′s the thing
You've got both the sword and shield
If anything
I′m a better lover, I'm a better fighter

But you caught me by surprise
And I still haven′t healed


Being your friend from the ground is a mindfuck
Bleeding everywhere but you still see a threat
Kick me while I'm down, cuz you want me to stand up?
Say you love me, do you wanna bet?

I′ve seen your green thumb
So don't you play dumb
You know we'd made it
Past a diet of breadcrumbs

Conditional compassion
It′s goin′ out of fashion
I can't feel anything anyway
Without feeling

Everything
I think you know it′s not a fair match
Here's the thing
You′ve got both the sword and shield
If anything
I'm a better lover, I′m a better fighter

But I caught you by surprise
And you still haven't healed


Being your friend from the ground is a mindfuck
Bleeding everywhere and you still see a threat
Kick me while I'm down, cuz you want me to stand up?
Say you love me, do you wanna bet
(wanna bet bet)

What part of me is a threat to neutralize?
Say"Do you wanna be babied?"
Look me in the eyes
And explain what you mean
Cuz don′t you see how it′s a copout?
You're all in or you′re all out

Blame me for poking the bear
But I need to hear you say the shit
I know you're thinking out loud
Blame me for not wanting to be there
Only honest when you′re angry
Busy dreaming of ur crowd

You only gotta be nice when someone's small?
Is that all?
You′re killing all my reasons to stand tall
Or learn to crawl

You're acting like you want me to grow
But I know
You're bein′ the director of your show
And if we both

Know I′m not your baby
Why do you defend your parenting style?
No I'm not your baby
What gives?
Could′ve sworn you walked the mile

Could've sworn we swapped shoes
Could′ve sworn we walked the mile
Could've sworn we walked the mile

Being your friend from the ground is a mindfuck
Bleeding everywhere but you still see a threat
Kick me while I′m down, cuz you want me to stand up?
Say you love me, do you wanna bet?
(wanna bet bet)

Being your friend from the ground is a mindfuck
Bleeding everywhere but you still see a threat
Kick me while I'm down, cuz you want me to stand up?
Say you love me, do you wanna bet?

You can't read my mind
I don′t wanna shout
We could meet in the middle
If you wanted to figure it out

I know you′re not my baby
But I'll defend my parenting style
(What gives baby)
We′re just a pair of babies
What gives?
Could've sworn we walked the mile

Whoa

What gives, you′re giving baby
What gives baby
