Insist Lyrics by Issy Wood

Cries Real Tears!

2021

[Verse 1]
(I thought)
I had the muscle to ignore this
I’ve never been a fan of courtship
(And I)
I only really want the bad bits
(So I)
Hope you’ll forgive me when I say this
(I thought)
I had the stomach to absorb this
(And I)
Won’t interrupt you while you’re talking
(It’s just)
Sometimes my feelings are exhausting
And if I had a choice I’d never get like this
But I just wish you’d say no I insist
I’m gonna need you to ask for all of it
And if you don’t I’ll say "no, no I insist"
[Chorus 1]
I’m not sure what I’m doing
Here
But I want more than all this crushing
Fear
(All this crushing fear)
And I’m not sure I can go on like this
But if you go I’ll say "no, I insist"
(I’ll say no I insist)
(I insist)
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a brain that works against me
(But I can)
Leave it behind whenever we meet
(Bеcause I’m)
Perfectly happy just prеtending
(That I’m)
Fine knowing I might never be missed
(No I insist)
And here’s the part where you say "no, I insist"
(I insist)
[Chorus 2]
I’m not sure what I mean to
You
Because nothing shuts you up like the
Truth
And I don’t think you wanted any of this
This
But if you go I’ll say no I insist
(I’ll say no I insist)
[Outro]
And I’m not sure what I’m doing here
But if you insist I’ll stay put out of fear
