No Give No Take
Bend, Bend ,Bend
It's what you expect
Never realizing how much it breaks my back
Walking on tip toes
Every single day
Just to appease you, to keep the peace within
It's like a game of chess
I'm never going to win
I don't know the rules or even how to play
You say you want respect
But it's a two way street
You have to give it to recieve it, even from me
You treat me like Cinderella
Always doing, doing, doing
Never asking for anything in return
Maybe one day you'll notice me
Underneath all this sut and dirt
After all I am your lady
I'm supposed to be your queen
But how am I to try and act politely
With an iron fisted king
