Strides Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2020

[Verse 1]
Every day, it seems I lost myself
But I have tried to calm my strides
And just today, it seems that I'm a fool
'Cause I have tried to compromise

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Myself to them
Like they care at all
When I change myself
They will watch me fall

[Chorus]
I'm findin' love's a reason to complain
And you say I'm still young
But how it hurts you when you're young
I'm just lookin' for a greener place
And you say it's been done
But I don't care if it's been done

[Verse 2]
So don't claim you're unable to convince yourself
To a kid who convinced himself he was straight
From birth 'til twelve or thirteen, it was working
'Til the world seemed it was out to hurt me
Trust me, don't you blame yourself
From a man who once blamed himself for the faults of
Those who tried to trick me, it convinced me
I was slipping, I just needed fixing

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I know
They weren't friends at all
When I change myself
I will watch them fall

[Chorus]
I'm findin' love's a reason to complain
And you say I'm still young
But how it hurts you when you're young
I'm just lookin' for a greener place
And you say it's been done
But I don't care if it's been done

[Instrumental Outro]
