Settled For That

Maybe I should have settled for him,

The one that said,

"We deserve better than this, but I want this."

But I did think I deserved better than that,

So I didn't want it.

Maybe I should have settled for that.

Maybe I should have settled for that job,

The one that made me,

Too stressed to do what I loved,

But I did want to love work more than that,

So I didn't want it.

Maybe I should have settled for that.

Maybe I should have settled for that consolation,

The one that everyone gave,

About how I've to accept with whatever little I had.

But I did want more than that,

So, I didn't want it.

Maybe I should have settled for that.
