Good Behavior
Unveiling Emotional Depths: Good Behavior by Kait Warner
Lyrics
I don't know why I told you
I confess my uncertainty about why I shared something with you
It's not like our conversations go too well
Our conversations don't go smoothly
I guess I thought if I unfolded myself to you
I hoped revealing my true self would lead to your apology for causing me distress
You'd apologize for putting me through hell
Expecting remorse for the difficult situation you put me through
Now I'm wasted in your kitchen
I find myself intoxicated in your kitchen
And I'm staring down your sink
Staring into your sink, lost in thought
And you're asking her if she'd like to get another drink
You're inviting another person for a drink while I'm present
And you love me when I swallow my pain and bite the sheet
Your love is evident when I endure pain silently, masking it by biting a sheet
Guess I'm caught up on my good behavior cus I don't say a thing
I adhere to good behavior by not expressing my feelings or thoughts
No I don't say a thing
Continuing to remain silent
I guess I'm always hoping
Constantly wishing for a chance to alter the dynamics of our relationship
That I might change the game
Hoping to change the situation
By bringing to life what you fantasize
Trying to bring to life your fantasies
I might keep your wandering eyes on mine
Attempting to keep your attention on me
So I Play hostess in your kitchen
Acting as a hostess in your kitchen
While you close your bedroom door
While you close the bedroom door, separating us
And there's one less girl in here with me than there was before
One less person in the room with me than before
And you love me for my candor as long as I don't cross a line
Your love is conditional on my honesty, as long as I don't overstep boundaries
Guess I'm caught up on my good behavior cus I tell you that it's fine
I stick to good behavior by assuring you that everything is okay
I tell you that it's fine
Reiterating that everything is fine
I know I'm no good but I'm better than this
Acknowledging my flaws but asserting that I can do better than the current situation
I know I'm no good
Recognizing my shortcomings
I know I'm no good but I'm better than this
Admitting I'm not perfect but insisting on improvement
I know I know I know I know I'm better
Repeated acknowledgment of the desire for self-improvement
