Not Your Future

The pain that I'm having right now
It's unbearable, I can't breathe
I feel like you waiting on me to take a bow
It's starting to feel like my throat dry so I have to heave

See right now I feel like quitting
I keep telling myself you have to keep pushing
Why stay somewhere that's not smooth fitting
The only thing that I feel is I got used for gushing

I'm a decent woman
That knows what she wants
And that's me wanting to be your woman
But apparently I'm not good enough to flaunt

I'm not trying to hurt you
I just want a future to build
It's not hard to do
Only if you allow things to heal

I don't want want to fight
Just want us to grow
But you act like I'm go bite
You keep settling yourself for low
