Lyrics
If you can't afford me
Cause your pockets are too empty
I'm fine with that
I'll applaud your honesty
And your ability to make way for someone who can
It's when you expect me to lower my quality
Till you find time to level up
See that's where you amaze me
With the level of batshit crazy you've mixed up for love
You can take this option from your list
Won't decide my worth from what you'll give
I'm making the choice for myself
Getting off of your bench
I'm not taking it personally
Cause I've learned to tell
My worth apart from how much you will give
I am done hanging on to ties that suffocate
If it don't reciprocate, that's where it starts to fade
I'm not made to wait, not gonna stay till I am seen
I'm done pleasing people who don't choose me wholeheartedly
I'm not tryna bash you
Or hurt you or devalue all the good times we've had
But don't get it mixed up
In the midst of losing you I've found a better self
Guess I've gotta thank you for reminding me
My value doesn't come at discount
I'm grateful for your visit, and the lessons
I've learned from it, but time has come to see you out
You can take this option from your list
Won't decide my worth from what you'll give
I'm making the choice for myself
Getting off of your bench
I'm not taking it personally
Cause I've learned to tell
My worth apart from how much you will give
I am done hanging on to ties that suffocate
If it don't reciprocate, that's where it starts to fade
I'm not made to wait, not gonna stay till I am seen
I'm done pleasing people who don't choose me wholeheartedly
If you can't afford me
Cause your pockets are too empty
I am done
