They say love’s a voice that’s loud and clear
But mine’s stuck faint—behind your favorite song
Your needs wear my wants like a worn-out coat
I fold myself small day after day
‘Til my “I need”turns to “whatever you want”
Yeah I made my world fit your own little flame
Oh my my
Oh my my pain
I let you turn me
Into somethin’I ain’t
You’re takin’me down to subordinating
I let you lay my heart low ‘til it’s just buried
I’m on the edge of your rules drunk on your “kind”
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I traded me for subordinating
You got me kissin’the ground
Of your so-called sanctuary
Shatter me with your lazy touch
Oh Lord return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I lost me to subordinating
I left the altar cold for your late-night calls
You said “stay soft”so I let my edges fall
I was the clay but you didn’t sculpt—you just dropped
My “too much”turned to “not enough”real fast
I prayed your love’d catch me but it just watched
As I shrank smaller ‘til I forgot my own name
Oh my my
Oh my my pain
I let you turn me
Into somethin’I ain’t
You’re takin’me down to subordinating
I let you lay my heart low ‘til it’s just buried
I’m on the edge of your rules drunk on your “kind”
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I traded me for subordinating
You got me kissin’the ground
Of your so-called sanctuary
Shatter me with your lazy touch
Oh Lord return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I lost me to subordinating
I thought love was “let you lead”‘til I saw your light was just a lie
I died a little every time I said “yeah whatever you like”
World was in soft pink ‘til you painted it blue
I thought “subordinate”meant “loved”—turns out it just meant “used”
Oh my my how’d I let you
Breathe and steal my breath away
At your altar I prayed wrong—
I was the prayer you were just the wall
You’re takin’me down to subordinating
I let you lay my heart low ‘til it’s just buried
I’m on the edge of your rules drunk on your “kind”
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I traded me for subordinating
You got me kissin’the ground
Of your so-called sanctuary
Shatter me with your lazy touch
Oh Lord return me to dust
The angels up in the clouds ain’t jealous—they just frown
Knowin’I lost me to subordinating
