Too Expensive – A Song About Letting Go

Описание: Too expensive


You’ve been talking to me different lately
I hear You

[Verse 1]
I used to keep it cute when it bothered me
Say it’s fine so they wouldn’t get tired of me
Play it down just to keep the peace
Even when it was taking from me

I would stay just to say I tried
Talk myself out of what I knew inside
Call it growth when it felt like fear
Just because I ain’t wanna lose the time

You kept saying, “That’s not from Me”
But I ain’t really wanna see
Now I trust what You said to me
Over what I want it to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not explaining my silence
I’m not negotiating peace
If it’s costing me clarity
It’s too expensive for me

[Chorus]
I don’t bend anymore
I don’t break for approval
You told me who I am
Now I move like it’s truthful

Used to fold when it hurt
Just to keep something close
Now if it’s not from You
I’m letting it go

I’m letting it go
I’m letting it go

[Verse 2]
You don’t get access just ’cause we got history
Familiar don’t mean it’s meant for me
I don’t do “maybe” or “we’ll see”
If it’s not clear then it’s not for me

Used to answer right away
Even when my spirit said wait
Now I’m cool with the space
Let it fall into place

If it change how they see me now
That’s cool with me
I’m not bending back
To who I used to be

What’s for me won’t cloud me
Or confuse me
Won’t make me doubt
What You already proved to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not explaining my silence
I’m not negotiating peace
If it’s costing me clarity
It’s too expensive for me

[Chorus]
I don’t bend anymore
I don’t break for approval
You told me who I am
Now I move like it’s truthful

Used to fold when it hurt
Just to keep something close
Now if it’s not from You
I’m letting it go

I’m letting it go
I’m letting it go

[Bridge]
I know they liked me better
When I would overextend
When I would chase the closure
And call it making amends

But I been learning different
In every morning we spend
If it’s not giving freedom
It’s not from You in the end

[Final Chorus]
I don’t bend anymore
I don’t break for approval
You told me who I am
Now I move like it’s truthful

Used to fold when it hurt
Just to keep something close
Now if it’s not from You
I’m letting it go

I’m letting it go
I’m letting it go
